A photograph of a man standing outdoors beside a large banyan tree, pressing his forehead against one of its thick, grey aerial roots with his eyes closed. He has long dark hair gathered into a low knot at the back and wears a rudraksha mala around his neck. A saffron-orange and red shawl drapes over his bare shoulder and torso, and his hands are folded at the base of the trunk. Blurred green foliage and soft light fill the background. The figure has distinctive long swept hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron-orange clothing, so the appearance-based label is a person, presented here in a meditative pose at the tree.
