A photograph of a seated group on a red and gold ornate sofa and a floor covered with orange and multicoloured rugs, set against deep red drapes. Two men in saffron-orange robes sit on the sofa: the one on the left is bare-footed with a grey beard, and the one beside him wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. A bald man in orange robes sits at the right edge, and a blindfolded young boy sits on the floor in red and white garments beside a bald man in orange and yellow robes wearing glasses. A woman in a red sari sits at the left edge. The scene appears to be a demonstration of blindfold reading, with a sheet of paper held up in the upper left.
