A man in white ritual dress stands barefoot on a red-and-white mat atop a low stone platform, leaning his head and forearm against the thick aerial roots of a large banyan tree. He wears a white dhoti with brown-beaded trim, a matching beaded armband and bracelet, and a brown beaded necklace; his hair is swept back into a topknot and he has a white forehead mark. His eyes are closed in quiet meditation or prayer. Sunlight falls warmly across the trunk and roots, with greenery and a pole in the background.
