A large seated gathering of men in a covered hall, nearly all wearing white blindfold cloths tied over their eyes. They sit in rows on the floor in light shirts, checked shirts and blue shirts. Hanging triangular yellow and orange pennants decorate the ceiling, and a standing fan sits at right. In the background a pale stage area holds white tables and a few figures in saffron and white clothing, with a banner reading 'Ashram Book' visible.
