Two children in orange robes sit side by side wearing black blindfolds over their eyes, with rudraksha-style beaded malas around their necks. A standing adult in white reaches toward them, and an older woman in a white top with a brown shawl stands behind. Behind them is a gold-leafed ornate throne or pedestal with red cushioned seats. A child in a yellow striped top stands at left. The scene suggests a ritual or training exercise in a temple-like hall.

A man with long hair and a bindi stands behind the camera operator, smiling, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. Several people are visible.

A photograph of a classroom-style exercise in an indoor hall with orange walls and a carved wooden panel. Three girls in orange saris with pink borders and rudraksha malas wear black blindfolds with white cloth over their eyes. The girl at centre holds an open illustrated book while a woman in orange with rudraksha beads stands at right, reaching toward the girl's face. Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border, bare arms adorned with bangles and armlets, and a rudraksha mala stands beside a brass oil lamp and a carved stand.

Several women sit in close rows wearing black blindfolds over their eyes, dressed in orange shawls and orange or white blouses. The woman in the centre wears a white and gold patterned blouse, a dark bead necklace and small earrings, and her hands rest together in a meditative mudra on her lap. Other women to the left and right wear rudraksha-style beads and flowers in their hair, and a white name badge is visible on one woman's blouse. The seated group appears to be in a meditation or guided exercise session, with out-of-focus attendees in the background. No a person candidate is visible.

A photo of two young boys seated side by side in a room with a pink-lilac wall and a window with greenery behind them. The boy on the left wears a white blindfold across his eyes, a white cloth over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold shawl, and holds his hands together. The boy on the right wears an orange robe with a red-and-gold shawl and a rudraksha mala, has a white forehead mark, and holds a small black cloth bag while touching the blindfolded boy's arm. Garlands hang near the window, consistent with a blindfold reading demonstration.
