A standing man in a dark red draped garment with gold-edged borders, barefoot on a grey stone platform, hands pressed together in anjali mudra in front of his chest. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck and a small red tilak on his forehead, looking up and to the side. Behind him are large banyan tree trunks with dangling aerial roots, a low curved stone wall, and red dirt ground. The swept-back dark hair and visible rudraksha are the only presentation cues; the robe is a simple wrap rather than ornate saffron. Identity is not established from appearance.
