A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead stands with eyes closed, leaning his head and one hand against the thick trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange saffron wrap draped over his body, a long garland of purple orchids around his neck, and a golden ornamental necklace. Sunlight filters through the leaves and a mesh fence stands in the background. Given the page's Swamiji flag and his long hair, orange clothing, purple orchid garland and necklace, this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a quiet, meditative moment beside the tree.
