A young man in a red and white striped long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans sits cross-legged on the bare red earth beneath a large banyan tree, his palms pressed together in namaskar at his chest and his head bowed in prayer. A white-painted circular platform or low wall sits behind him, and the thick aerial roots and trunk of the banyan fill the right side of the frame. He wears a wristwatch and a small name badge on his shirt. No identifiable a person figure is present; this is a devotee in quiet prayer at the banyan tree.
