A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead leans his head and shoulder against the thick trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment draped over his body and a long purple orchid garland around his neck. His eyes are closed and his hand rests on the trunk. Behind him are green leaves, a grey metal pole and a wire fence in daylight. Appearance-based cues (long swept-back hair, saffron garb, garland) are consistent with the page's a person reference, so this is a person in person.
