A standing man in a sunlit outdoor courtyard beside a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He stands barefoot on a pale concrete edge with his palms pressed together in front of his chest in anjali mudra. He wears an orange and magenta silk veshti with a wide purple and gold woven border, draped over the shoulder and falling in pleated folds to the feet, with a long rudraksha mala of brown beads around his neck. A white tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead, and his dark hair is swept back into a knot. A low concrete wall curves behind him and dry leaves lie on the ground. The appearance matches the a person candidate in visible cues (rudraksha mala, ornate saffron-toned clothing, swept-back hair), but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.
