A night-time photo of a large crowd standing in rows, many people wearing white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes. In the foreground a bearded man in a white collared shirt stands in profile, his face covered by a white blindfold. Behind him, people in cream, white, pink and patterned shirts and kurtas stand closely together, most with white bands across their eyes. Bright white light fixtures glow at the top left. The scene suggests a guided group exercise held outdoors after dark.
