A man in saffron-yellow sannyasi robes stands barefoot on a red and blue patterned mat on a white-rimmed platform, leaning his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and gold-toned armlets, with his eyes closed in meditative devotion. A kolam-style white design is drawn on the ground beside the platform, and a red-brick wall and trees fill the background.
