A barefoot man in a bright magenta dhoti and matching magenta upper cloth stands with palms pressed together at his chest, eyes closed and face lifted, in an outdoor courtyard. He wears a gold-banded armlet and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a larger bead pendant. Behind him are large banyan trees with hanging aerial roots, a low curved concrete wall, and a dirt path. A dark stone with a pale ring sits at the lower right edge. The scene suggests quiet prayer or meditation.
