A photograph of a man standing barefoot beside a large banyan-type tree with thick aerial roots, pressing his head and one hand against the trunk with eyes closed. He wears a bright blue silk garment with orange and purple-striped borders draped over one shoulder and falling in pleats, with a metallic silver necklace, silver armlet and silver bangles. His dark hair is tied in a bun at the back. The setting is outdoors on reddish earth with a low stone edging. Whether this person is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the figure is described by role only as a man at prayer.
