A man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white trousers stands barefoot on reddish earth, bowing forward with his forehead pressed against the massive grey trunk of a banyan tree. His right hand rests flat on the bark and he wears a gold bracelet on that wrist. Dense aerial roots and branches surround the tree, and a black hose runs across the ground. A small stone platform sits at the base of the trunk.
