A photograph of a ceremonial blessing in an ashram hall. A seated figure in a rust-brown robe, with a yellow floral headdress, a long multi-strand garland of yellow and pink flowers, and bangles, reaches out and places a hand on the head of a kneeling man in white who wears a white and red flower garland. Beside them, a man in white with a grey-streaked head and a yellow-and-red garland kneels with hands folded. Behind them, standing devotees in white and rust clothes, some with rudraksha malas, watch, and a golden ornate throne-like structure and floral decorations frame the scene.
