A man with a bare upper torso stands barefoot on a red and patterned mat beside a large grey banyan tree, resting his forehead and one hand against the trunk with eyes closed. He wears an orange-brown dhoti with gold borders and a thick necklace of large gold beads, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a gold earring, and his hair tied in a bun. Roots and red earth surround the tree, and a small offering lies on the mat.
