Photograph of a healing darshan. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned seat and places one hand on the head of a young man in a red striped polo shirt seated in a wheelchair. The seated figure wears a rudraksha mala, the most distinctive cue being the long swept-back hair and orange robes; the page names a person for this event, so the identification is appearance-based and probable. A shaved-headed man in orange and white stands behind, and men in white shirts and orange shawls with a crowd press in around the wheelchair. A basket of fruit and a brass tray with offerings are visible at right. Around 10 people are visible.
