A man in saffron-orange robes with a golden border stands with his eyes closed and forehead pressed against a large fig tree trunk, with aerial roots hanging above. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala with large beads around his neck and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, his hair tied in a bun at the back. His right hand rests lightly on the trunk, and the blurred dark foliage suggests an outdoor setting.
