A single man stands outdoors before a large banyan tree with thick, twisting aerial roots. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his body, long strands of orange rudraksha beads, and a heavy ceremonial necklace of gold beads. Gold bangles adorn his upper arms and wrists. He has white tripundra markings on his forehead with a red dot at the center, long dark hair swept back, and small hoop earrings. His palms are pressed together at his chest in prayer and his eyes are closed in meditation. Dusty reddish ground and warm evening light surround him. The appearance cues (saffron cloth, rudraksha, gold ornaments, long hair) are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, a probable identification based on appearance.
