A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform with eyes closed, hands clasped in his lap, in meditation. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. Behind him, a woman with light hair in a yellow shawl and white clothes sits with eyes closed, and another woman in cream clothes sits further back. The ground is covered with grey ash and charred embers. Some figures in the background appear to be practising meditation on the ashen ground.
