A person seated cross-legged in meditation on a raised mat over ash-covered ground, wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over the head and body, with a long rudraksha mala around the neck and a red bindi on the forehead. Eyes are closed and hands rest in a mudra in the lap. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a spout sits on the ground in front. Behind, several people in white clothes and yellow shawls sit in meditation on the ash-strewn ground, and the scene suggests a fire-based ritual site. The page notes a person at this event, but the seated figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
