A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with gold-yellow borders and an orange shawl draped over one shoulder stands barefoot on a dark polished stone platform beneath a large spreading banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. The figure has long dark hair, holds palms together at the chest in anjali mudra, and a white beaded mala hangs from the wrist. Two small red-and-white patterned mats lie on the stone. Appearance-based a person candidate: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and mala cues are present, but the face is not visible, so identity is uncertain and this is a devotee-style prayer scene in a temple grove.
