A person in an orange sleeveless top and orange wrap, with long dark hair swept back, stands in profile with head bowed and forehead pressed against the trunk of a large banyan tree. A pale grey cloth is tied around the trunk at the right. A cream-coloured wall with a blue-grey coping edge stands at left, with a stone or concrete structure above it and palm fronds in the background. The pose reads as a devotional prostration at the tree. Appearance-based cues (long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing) are present, so this is a probable match for Swamiji; the page also places him at this event.
