Four people sit close together indoors against a pale marble-patterned wall, with a patterned red cushion behind them. In the centre, a smiling person wears a rust-red turban with a vermilion tilak on the forehead, a rust-red robe with a gold border, and a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace. To the right, a bald, smiling older man with a tilak and rudraksha mala wears orange robes and gestures with one raised hand. Behind them, a bearded man in orange robes sits with his head partly visible, and a person in a grey-white beard and orange robe sits at the left edge. At the bottom left, a person with curly grey hair is partly visible. The scene reads as a relaxed conversation among ascetics. The centre person has a turban, gold necklace and red-gold robe, which are cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the appearance is not conclusive.
