A barefoot person in an orange saffron dhoti stands on a paved path beneath a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. The person wears a leopard-print shawl over the shoulders and a white and red flower garland with a hanging floral tassel. Behind is a low stone platform with steps, and a white pillar stands at right. A sign at lower left reads Silence Please. Appearance cues are insufficient to identify anyone, so the person is described by role as a devotee.
