A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with gold-coloured beaded trim, standing outdoors and leaning his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. His eyes are closed and his hand rests on the bark, a gesture of reverence. He wears gold beaded necklaces and an armlet, and his hair is tied in a bun at the back of his head. The background is blurred greenery.

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.
