A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a small red and cream patterned mat placed on a grey stone slab outdoors, eyes closed and palms pressed together at chest level in a prayer gesture. He wears a pale yellow unstitched dhoti and a matching shawl with orange and maroon striped borders draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha-style bead mala around his neck, beaded bangles on his wrists, a beaded armlet on his upper arm, and a red bindi with white tripundra markings on his forehead. Behind him are leafy trees, a sandy ground, white circular stone planters and a brown wooden structure in soft sunlight.

A man stands barefoot on a raised stone platform beside a large banyan tree, leaning his head and one hand against its trunk with eyes closed. He wears an orange saffron garment with gold-bordered edges draped over one shoulder, and a long gold bead necklace hangs across his chest. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Stone seating blocks and a white pillar stand in the background amid trees.

A standing man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead poses barefoot against a dense tangle of banyan tree roots and trunks. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti with a gold border draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant at his chest, and rests one hand on his hip with eyes closed.

He wears a tiered gold necklace, a large gold pendant, a beaded rudraksha-style mala with a gold clasp, a gold waist belt, and bangles and an armlet. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and his right hand is raised to his forehead in a salute-like gesture. Concrete blocks and a white pillar appear in the background.

A man stands barefoot on a raised stone platform beside a large banyan tree, his forehead touching the trunk with eyes closed. He wears an orange-yellow unstitched wrap with red and maroon borders and triangular red patterns along the lower edge, and his upper body is bare apart from a cloth draped over one shoulder. A dark hair knot is tied at the back of his head, a white tilak marks his forehead, and a beaded necklace is visible at his chest. His hands are clasped at his waist. A small floral rangoli is drawn on the stone near his feet, and dry sandy ground, rocks and a low white wall surround the tree.

A man in orange and gold ritual dress stands barefoot on a small red and white patterned mat beside a large banyan tree, leaning his forehead against its trunk with eyes closed.

A shallow bowl of flower petals sits on a low stone ledge behind him in an outdoor garden setting.
