He wears a rudraksha mala necklace, rudraksha bracelets on his arm and wrist, and a flower garland woven into his upturned hair. His eyes are closed and his posture is still and reverent. A pink flower garland hangs on the trunk to the left. Behind him are a white-walled raised platform, bare earth, stone blocks and an orange boundary wall in an open courtyard. The man is shown as a devotee in meditative stillness; no identity is asserted from appearance.2012-05-03May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copiesA man stands barefoot on a red and patterned mat beside a large banyan tree, leaning his forehead and right hand against its trunk with eyes closed in quiet devotion.
