A man in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a low stone platform beside a large banyan tree, one hand pressed to the trunk and head bowed in quiet devotion. His garment has a red border and a geometric triangular pattern along the lower wrap, and a red-stained vertical mark is visible on his forehead. Pale-orange sunlight falls through the leaves. Hanging cords drop from the branches, and a coloured kolam or rangoli design lies on the stone at the lower left. The setting is an outdoor temple-type grounds with rough rocks and a low wall behind him.

A photograph of a bare-chested man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl standing barefoot on a small red-and-pink patterned mat, leaning his head against the trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots.
