A crowd of people stands at night in rows behind a dark metal railing, their eyes covered by white cloth blindfolds. In the foreground a man in a white collared shirt stands at left, a man in a brown striped shirt with a white tag stands beside a woman in a pale pink salwar, and at right a man in a red t-shirt with a red handprint motif stands beside an older woman in a grey and green sari. Many more blindfolded participants stand in the background in pale shirts and kurtas. No speaker or throne is visible, and the scene appears to be a blindfolded group exercise at an evening event.
