A bearded man with long dark dreadlocked hair topped by a gold crescent ornament stands in an outdoor setting before a large banyan tree, pressing his palms together in anjali. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and garlands of red and white beads. Behind him a red, green and yellow decorated umbrella is held by an attendant in white, and other people in orange garments stand nearby. The man has a white tripundra marking and a red bindi.
