A man in saffron-orange draped robes with gold-bordered edges leans his forehead and right hand against the large buttressed trunk of a banyan tree, eyes closed in devotion. He wears a silver-coloured multi-strand necklace, silver arm bands and bracelets, and has long dark hair gathered in a knot at the back, with white vibhuti tilak on his forehead. His bare back and shoulder are visible, and the orange cloth is draped over one shoulder with a tassel. The setting is outdoors with blurred trees and soft light. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, silver jewellery, long swept-back hair and vibhuti cues are distinctive, and he is the only person shown.
