A photograph of a person in an orange turban and orange robes leaning forward with their forehead resting against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree. The tree trunk and surrounding aerial roots are draped with white jasmine garlands and pink flower strands, with small folded green leaf ornaments hanging from a cord. The person wears a long white and red-green garland around their neck and stands barefoot on dirt ground beside a white curbed edge, with striped mats laid out nearby and a low wall in the background. This appears to be a devotional gesture of reverence at a sacred tree. The person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, and no name is printed in the image.
