A man with long, loose black hair and a rudraksha bracelet stands with his back partly turned, pressing one hand against the trunk of a large banyan-like tree. He wears a rust-red silk dhoti with a gold border and a gold waist ornament, and a long garland of pink and white flowers hangs from his neck to his knees. Thin branches with dark green leaves frame the tree, and a golden decorated object is visible at the right edge.
