A man stands in profile on a hillside among green trees with his palms joined in anjali mudra at his chest and his eyes closed in prayer. He wears a plain white t-shirt with a printed blue and yellow graphic, white dhoti, a rudraksha mala around his neck and a white tilak on his forehead. In front of him a large flat rock is decorated with a garland of white and orange flowers and a pile of pink and white blossoms, with green leaves laid beside it.
