A barefoot man with long, swept-back dark hair stands beside a large banyan tree with many aerial roots, leaning his body and right hand against the trunk in a reverent pose. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with red-and-maroon borders, and a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. Beside the tree, bamboo poles with orange cloth streamers and brass vessels stand on sandy ground. The distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are cues consistent with a person, though the face is not clearly visible, so the identification is only probable.
