A barefoot man with long, swept-back black hair stands with palms pressed together in namaste at chest height and eyes lowered, on a dark stone platform before a small red and cream patterned mat. He wears a rust-orange unstitched wrap with yellow borders, a thick brown-red beaded waist band, layered rudraksha mala necklaces with a silver pendant, and red-brown beaded armbands. A white and red forehead marking is visible. Behind him are a tree with hanging aerial roots, a pale green container and a paved path. The man appears to be a person, shown here as a sannyasi in standing prayer posture during a satsang setting.
