A photograph of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and trunks, wrapped at its base by a garland of yellow and purple-red marigold flowers with green leaves, set on a low white circular platform. To the right, a man stands close to the trunk, one hand resting on it. He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over one shoulder and a long, loose unbound hair with a beaded rudraksha-style mala necklace. Bare feet on sandy ground, with other trees and a distant building in the background. The scene is outdoors in daylight.
