A photograph taken at night of a person in an orange-saffron robe with gold trim, wearing a long white and red flower garland over the shoulder, reaching toward the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with many aerial roots.

His eyes are lowered as he stands in a quiet outdoor setting with mist and a pale path behind him. Probable Swamiji by the appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron clothing, garland and gold necklace, shown in person.

A barefoot man in orange and gold ochre robes stands on a low stone platform, leaning his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots. His eyes are closed and he holds the folds of his cloth at his waist. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck and has a white tilak on his forehead, with his hair tied up at the back. Behind him are a clear plastic container, a white pole and a sandy outdoor ground. The scene reads as a quiet, contemplative pose in an outdoor ashram setting. The figure's appearance is consistent with a sannyasi in saffron robes, but the page does not confirm identity, so the figure is described only by role.
