A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion on bare ground in meditation, eyes closed, hands folded in his lap, with a rudraksha mala hanging over his chest and a red tilak on his forehead. Beside him is a brass kalasha-style vessel. Behind him a woman in white clothes with an orange shawl sits in meditation on the ground. Ash-covered earth, scattered stones and a white stone pedestal surround the scene. The man's appearance includes saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a sannyasi's attire, which are consistent with the page's claim that a person is present, but the face is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm it, so the identification is uncertain.
