A man in a saffron-orange robe with matching orange border trim stands barefoot beside a large banyan tree, one hand resting against its thick aerial roots and the other held at his waist. He wears a long necklace of golden beads and has long dark hair swept back, with his eyes lowered in a quiet, reverent pose. White kolam designs are painted on the ground around the stone base of the tree, with a small shrine and a green object visible in the background among trees on a sunlit compound.
