Indoor photo of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, placing a hand on the head of a bowing man in white clothes. Attendants in white and orange shawls stand nearby, including a shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti with a red-marked forehead. A wooden staff lies on the floor, a small blue box and offerings sit on a white cloth, and a red curtain and fan are behind. A small girl in the lower foreground watches. The page identifies the seated figure as Swamiji; appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are consistent, so Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving devotees for a healing blessing.
