A young man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a pink mat in meditation at the base of a large banyan tree, its many aerial roots and pale trunks rising behind him. He is bare-chested and wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a red bindi on his forehead, and a long dark rudraksha mala with a gold pendant at the chest. His eyes are closed and his hands rest in dhyana mudra in his lap. Beside him stands a weathered stone shivalinga-like pillar with a small offering on top, and red and yellow paint marks dot the tree roots. Sandy ground and dappled shade surround the scene.
