A photograph of a one-on-one healing or blessing moment indoors. A man with long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, an orange-brown wrap and a red-orange rudraksha mala sits on a red cushioned seat, reaching his right hand toward the forehead of a younger man in a green and brown patterned kurta with an orange lanyard. The younger man has his palms raised in front of him. Behind them are white room coolers, a pedestal fan and a window reflection. The seated man appears to be a person by his long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange wrap, shown performing the gesture on the younger devotee.
