A woman with blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing glasses and an orange-red kurta, leans over a table to take the blood pressure of a man in a light blue shirt with grey hair and a moustache. She holds the stethoscope earpieces to her ears and the cuff's green tube runs to a mercury sphygmomanometer on the white tablecloth. A water bottle and a green-and-white paper form sit on the table, and a partly visible person in white stands in the background against a cream wall.2010-02-12A young man in a white shirt lies on a light blue padded medical bed while donating blood.

A brown rudraksha mala hangs around his neck. A person in dark trousers and sandals stands at the top left, and a white wall is at the right. Only the person lying on the bed is a clear participant in the scene.2008-12-30A female doctor in a white coat and red-and-green patterned skirt takes blood pressure from an elderly woman seated on a blue-covered table. The doctor wears a stethoscope and a red face mask and holds a green cuff on the woman's upper arm. The patient wears a floral blouse and a yellow-green sari. Behind them, a woman in a blue top stands, and two men sit at a table covered with a patterned cloth with paper, cups and a bowl. A red chair and a wicker basket sit at the edges, with an ajrakh-style cloth hanging on the wall.
