Photograph of a healing blessing session at an indoor event. A man with short hair, a red bindi and an orange sleeveless garment with an orange shawl sits at a white-draped table placing his hand on the head of a woman who bends forward, her dark hair in a ponytail and wearing a yellow floral kurta. Around them devotees look on: a young man in an orange shawl holds up a card, a bespectacled woman in a light top stands near the front, and another person in white stands behind the table wearing a rudraksha mala. A young man in an orange shawl also appears at the back left. On the table are printed booklets and a small ritual tray. The seated man is the a person by appearance: a swept-back hairstyle, orange clothing and rudraksha beads, with the page noting his presence at this event.

A man in orange sleeveless robes with a rudraksha mala places his hand on the head of a woman in a pink sari who bends forward, her hands folded. Around them, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala, a man in a patterned white shirt, a woman in white with a mala, and other hands reach toward her. On the table are printed papers, small packets, and framed photographs. The robed figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face is not clear enough to confirm, so this is an unsure appearance-based candidate.2008-03-24A long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top and orange cloth is laying both hands on the head of a seated devotee during a darshan or blessing. Around them, several people in white, yellow and orange clothes are seated or kneeling, some holding small cards and papers. A rudraksha mala is visible on the devotee. On the right, a basket of fruit, a trident, a white cushioned seat and stacks of printed booklets and framed pictures sit on a table. The setting is an indoor hall with a standing fan at the back.

On the seat's table are rudraksha beads, sweets, a printed booklet and books. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-clad man with long swept-back hair is the presumed Swamiji giving blessing, from his saffron robes, long hair and rudraksha-adorned seated presentation.2008-03-24March 24 20082008-03-24
