A photograph of a standing figure with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on the forehead, and bare feet, wearing a bright lime-green silk garment with green and red borders draped in a dhoti-like style over a red top. Silver bead necklaces, bangles and an armlet are worn. The palms are pressed together in anjali mudra at the chest while the face looks upward. Behind is a large banyan tree with aerial roots, a magenta and yellow flower garland hangs at left, and a stone platform lies beside. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description, but the clothing and ornament cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only as a devotee in prayer.

A man stands barefoot on a circular stone platform in front of a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots. He wears a lime-green silk garment with a dark green and red border draped over one shoulder and around the waist, gold armlets and bangles, and multiple strands of brown beads with a gold pendant. His palms are pressed together at his chest, eyes closed, with a red tilak on his forehead, in a posture of prayer or devotion. A low stone wall and reddish earth lie behind him. The person is a devotee in an appearance-based prayer pose, and the description does not establish who he is.2011-12-04December 04 20112011-12-04 +1 copiesA barefoot man stands with eyes closed and hands folded at his chest in a prayerful pose outdoors before a large banyan tree with aerial roots.
