Outdoors under a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots, a man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing a large black stone statue of a seated figure. The statue wears a white cloth, rudraksha beads, a white turban-like head covering, and sits on a pedestal carved with small meditating figures. In front of it are a small grey stone bench, a brass lamp, and red cloth offerings. A low white wall and bare ground surround the scene. The man has a shaved-head style and a visible tilak; his face is partially turned away.
