A 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. Because the page names a Swamiji presence at this event and the figure matches several visible cues including long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, this is a probable Swamiji (probable) performing the blessing, as a sannyasi giving a blessing to a devotee.
