A large white tent with red and white draped valances and hanging ceiling fans shelters a crowd of men in white shirts and white or cream trousers, all wearing white blindfolds over their eyes. They stand barefoot on a green mat with yellow boundary lines, some with arms raised. Foreground men wear name badges on their shirts, and water bottles sit on the floor at right. The scene reflects a blindfolded group exercise during the Arogya Yoga program in Vellore. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable among the visible participants.
