A man with long dark hair and a vertical sandalwood-style mark on his forehead stands barefoot, leaning his forehead and body against the trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears a flowing yellow draped garment with ruffled gold-trimmed edges and a long necklace of gold-coloured beads, eyes closed in stillness. Dusty ground, stone blocks and a grey pole sit in the background under dappled sunlight.
