A man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands barefoot with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, on a teal and white striped mat with a small red floral cushion. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over the shoulders and body, edged with red borders, over a white undergarment, and a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. Behind him a large banyan tree with many aerial roots rises, and a red and gold ceremonial umbrella stands on the ground to the right. Swamiji (probable) is shown here in an appearance-based label, with the saffron clothing, long hair, rudraksha mala and tilak as cues. The scene appears to be an outdoor banyan-tree setting in the ashram grounds.
