A man in a hot pink draped robe with green-and-gold trim stands barefoot on a stone step, leaning his forehead and one hand against the thick aerial roots of a large banyan tree. His eyes are closed and he wears a heavy gold bead necklace; his long black hair falls loosely behind him. Sandy ground, low stone benches and a pale pillar appear in the background among the trees. A bare-chested devotee wrap and wet sand suggest an outdoor ashram setting. a person's appearance is not clearly established from these cues, so he is described by role only.
