A barefoot man stands in profile with palms pressed together in anjali mudra before a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He has long, dark, swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a red and gold striped garment draped over his shoulders and wrapped around his body. He wears a rudraksha mala necklace, beaded bangles and an armlet. A yellow and red flower garland hangs on the left edge, and a stone platform with steps lies behind him. A yellow ritual vessel is partly visible at the lower left, consistent with a pada puja setting. Appearance-based cues include long hair, rudraksha and ornate red clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure physically present, shown in an act of devotional reverence.
