A photograph of a blessing at an indoor evening event. A man in orange robes with long dark hair pulled back places his right hand on the crown of a man in a white shirt, whose eyes are closed and palms are pressed together at his forehead. A woman with hair tied back in a white top and a second man in a striped white shirt with folded hands stand close by, with a crowd and bright stage lights behind them.
