A photograph of a man in an orange saffron sleeveless wrap walking down an aisle in a hall with peach-coloured walls. He has long dark hair swept back and a red bindi on his forehead, and he is bare-armed with a red garment beneath the wrap. Around him, hundreds of seated people wear white cloth blindfolds across their eyes, many in white, cream and yellow saris and dhotis, some in blue and pink. A sound speaker stands at upper left and a framed poster hangs on the wall at right. The scene suggests a Kalpataru blessing programme in progress, with the walking figure appearing as an appearance-based a person (saffron wrap, long swept-back hair, bindi) and the seated crowd filling most of the frame.
