Photograph of a man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe standing barefoot beside a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears a long white and red flower garland around his neck, and his eyes are closed as he leans his head against the trunk. Orange marigold garland is strung across the tree. Behind him are a low concrete wall and cleared earth, with a mesh fence and trees in the background. The scene suggests a devotional gesture at a sacred tree.
