A long-haired man in saffron orange sleeveless robes sits cross-legged in meditation on an orange cloth-covered wooden platform on a dusty open ground. His eyes are closed and his hands rest in his lap. Behind him, a man in white shirt and white trousers sits on a chair, and a figure in white clothing is partly visible. Smoke rises from a fire area in the background, with a white stone block and a red-painted block nearby. The foreground is blurred with red and yellow flower garlands.
