A man in white ritual dress stands outdoors with his eyes closed, resting his head against a large tree trunk with his right hand touching the bark. He wears a white dhoti and shoulder cloth edged with brown braided trim, long rudraksha mala strands across his chest, a rudraksha armband and a rudraksha bracelet. His hair is pulled back in a knot, and a vertical tilak marks his forehead. Sunlight falls warmly across his shoulder and the bark, with green foliage behind him.
