A seated man in saffron orange robes meditates with eyes closed on a low wooden platform in front of a white stepped structure decorated with hanging garlands of purple and yellow flowers. He wears a shawl draped over his head and shoulders, a long rudraksha mala around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead, with hands resting in meditation posture. A brass vessel with a spout stands to his left on the sandy ground, scattered with pink flower petals and ash. The setting appears to be an outdoor ritual space. The page indicates a person appearance, but the figure's cues (rudraksha mala, saffron robes, shawl over head) are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role as a meditating sannyasi.
