A man stands in profile beside the wide trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots, leaning his head lightly against the bark with one hand raised near the trunk. He wears a white silk dhoti and a red-and-gold bordered shawl draped over his shoulder, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, and a vertical tilak on his forehead, with his hair knotted at the back. He is barefoot on a stone edging over reddish earth, with a blurred garden and wall behind him. Only the attire and setting are visible.
