A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair tied back sits cross-legged on an orange cushion atop a low wooden platform, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a long mala of dark rudraksha beads and a sacred tilak on his forehead, and a brass kettle-shaped vessel stands beside him. Behind him, a second man in orange sits in meditation, and a third person in white sits further back near a yellow shrub. An orange-walled building with a tiled roof and a wooden table of offerings forms the background. Whether the central figure is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is left uncertain.
