A photograph of a seated group of about a dozen men with black cloth blindfolds over their eyes, sitting cross-legged on a blue and white striped mat in a hall. Most wear white kurta-style shirts with grey lanyard badges; several wear orange or red polo shirts and striped shirts. A bookshelf and a red-draped table stand in the background, along with water bottles and dark bags on the floor. No one is clearly identifiable as a specific person, and the scene shows a blindfolded meditation or sensory exercise session.
