A healing session in a covered courtyard with pink and teal pillars. A man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala is laying his hand on the head of a seated woman in a green floral blouse with a white flower in her hair. A woman in a white sari with gold border kneels in front of a small child in a pink top, her hand on the child's head. Other onlookers stand and sit nearby, including a man in a checked shirt. Plastic chairs and a leafy plant are visible. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance; the man laying hands wears white with a mala, which is not a distinctive presentation cue.
