Photograph of an indoor blessing scene at an ashram hall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange sleeveless top and orange shawl, extends his right hand to place it on the head of a seated devotee in a white shirt with folded hands. Around them, several men in white shirts and orange shawls and a bald young man in orange cloth crowd close; one man on the left holds a small white card and another holds a small object near the devotee's head. Behind them stand an orange-robed figure and a white-clad attendant, with a red curtain, a fan and a table with papers and booklets in the background. The long-haired man in orange is a person by appearance, presiding over the blessing as the central figure. Watermarked copyright text is not reproduced.

March 23 20082008-03-23A photograph of a healing or blessing moment in an indoor hall with a red-curtained backdrop. A long-haired figure in saffron orange clothing reaches out and rests a hand on the head of a seated man in a white shirt who has his palms pressed together in prayer. Behind them, two men in orange robes with red sashes stand attending, one with a shaved head, and a flower arrangement sits on a table. Other onlookers in white and orange are at the edges, and a fan stands at left.
