A large indoor hall with white walls and red curtains holds a dense crowd of seated men on a red carpet, most wearing white shirts and white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, a practice. Two figures stand in the foreground at right: one with long dark hair in a flowing orange-red robe, and a second in saffron-orange drapery, both facing the crowd. Further back, several people in white stand along the walls, and a metal scaffold ladder leans near the left side. Some seated participants hold yellow folders, and white tote bags lie on the carpet.
