A smiling man stands barefoot on sandy ground before a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears an orange saffron-coloured garment with a gold border and a cream turban with gold ornamentation. He has a red tilak on his forehead, a long white and maroon flower garland, a gold chain with a pendant, and gold bangles. His palms are pressed together in an anjali greeting. A white low wall stands behind him. Another person in orange clothing is partly visible at the right edge. The appearance suggests a person in a ceremonial setting, though the page does not confirm his presence, so the a person field is unsure.
