A photograph of a large hall with a pink-red cloth covering the floor, where many people stand in rows wearing white blindfolds tied across their eyes. Most wear Indian dress: women in salwar kameez and sarees in yellow, gold, maroon, pink and peach, and men in shirts and trousers. Some stand with hands folded and others with arms relaxed. White plastic chairs line the walls beside tall windows, and small white paper pieces lie on the cloth. The setting looks like an exercise or meditation session with eyes blindfolded.
