A single man stands barefoot on a sandy path before a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots, with a low yellow-stone wall behind him. He wears a rust-red dhoti with a wide gold border, the upper cloth wrapped in gold-and-red bands across his torso, and bare shoulders. A heavy rudraksha mala hangs around his neck, and a red tilak marks his forehead. His palms are pressed together in anjali and he gazes upward with a gentle smile.
