A seated monk in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange shawl draped over his head sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap. A rudraksha mala hangs around his neck and a red mark is on his forehead. Beside him on the ground stands a small brass kalasha-style vessel, and a ring of grey ash surrounds the seat. Behind him, two women in white and yellow sit in meditation near carved stone deity murti and serpent-hooded figures, with a white peetha-like platform and a garland of red flowers at right. Scattered petals lie on the ground.
