A man in orange saffron robes stands in front of an enormous tree with massive grey buttress roots wrapping around and over a weathered, moss-stained stone temple wall. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and holds a wooden staff over one shoulder, with bare feet on a stone step. The setting resembles an Angkor-style temple overtaken by tree roots. The photo is a photograph of one person outdoors, with a faint purple logo visible at the lower left corner.
