A woman with long dark wavy hair, wearing an orange sleeveless top with an orange wrap draped over it, stands in profile in the foreground of a hall. Seated devotees fill the floor in front of her, many wearing white cloths tied over their eyes as a blindfold. Behind them hangs a large painted backdrop of a banyan-like tree and an arched niche holding a deity murti with a crown and gold-trimmed garments. Yellow and orange banners with patterned borders hang at the upper corners, and white tent fabric covers the ceiling. The scene appears to be an event with blindfolded participants seated in rows.
