Photograph of a barefoot figure in a rust-orange sannyasi-style cloth standing beside a large banyan-type tree with twisted aerial roots, seen from behind. The figure has long, loose dark hair and wears a garland of white and pink flowers with gold beads draped over the shoulders and back. In front of the tree, a shrine area holds a metal pot and a bank of yellow, orange and maroon marigold garlands; small scattered flowers lie on the ground at the base of the tree. A corrugated roof overhangs the scene. The figure appears to be in prayer or worship at the shrine.
