A photograph of a single person standing on a white-painted circular platform around a large banyan tree, pressing their face and body against one of its thick hanging aerial roots. The person has long dark hair and wears an orange saffron robe under a leopard-print shawl, with a white flower garland around the neck. A yellow and purple marigold garland hangs on the tree trunk to the left. Bare dirt ground, small shrines and a white pole are visible in the background. The appearance does not clearly match a distinctive a person candidate, so the person is described by role as a sannyasi-dressed devotee and the identity is marked unsure.
