A photograph taken from behind of a figure with long, dark, loose hair standing barefoot in a sandy clearing, pressed against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with many aerial roots. The figure wears an orange-yellow dhoti and wrap over a rust-red top, with a light orange shawl draped over the shoulders. Small white flower petals or offerings lie scattered on the sandy ground at the base of the tree. The setting is dim and nighttime-like, with the pale tree trunk and roots filling the frame.
