A seated figure in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged on a raised orange cushion atop a low wooden platform in an open courtyard. He wears a long black rudraksha mala draped over his chest, long dark hair swept back, and has his hands folded in his lap in meditation. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a small red flower stands on the floor to his left, and the tiled courtyard is backed by red brick walls and a red pillar. Blurred heads of seated audience members occupy the lower foreground. The appearance-based identity of the central figure is uncertain, and the page does not confirm his presence.
