Three women walk and carry white vessels on the dry red earth beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and thick low branches. The woman in front, in white clothes with a white dupatta, balances a white pot on her head. Behind her, a woman in a green blouse and white sari stands with hands folded beside a low concrete ring, and another woman in a pink sari raises a white vessel near the trunk. Black hoses run across the ground by the stone borders.

A photograph of devotees standing in a garden beside a large banyan tree with aerial roots, their hands pressed together in anjali mudra in prayer. In the foreground a woman in a white shawl with a white sari and gold bangle stands with eyes closed. Behind her, a man in a green t-shirt and red-striped trousers and two women in white saris with red borders also stand with hands folded. A red-painted wall and green shrubbery form the backdrop. The scene appears to be a quiet moment of prayer at a tree shrine.

A photograph of a large banyan tree with many thick aerial roots hanging and twisting down along the trunk. In the centre, a slender hanging root cluster rises from a ring of grey granite blocks on red-brown earth. To the right, a group of people in white and pastel clothing walk barefoot across the dusty ground under the shade. Foreground figures include a woman in a white top and white trousers at right, a woman in a mint-green kurta with an orange waist sash, and a woman in a white kurta with an orange dupatta. Dappled sunlight falls across the scene and the background shows more participants and green foliage.

Outdoors beneath a large spreading banyan tree with pale, twisting aerial roots, several women gather on reddish-brown earth. In the centre, a woman in a red sari with a red shawl walks barefoot over a flat stone, carrying a metal tray or plate, while a woman in a green floral sari with orange trousers and a red-and-white shawl holds the tray steady. To the right, a woman in an orange sari with a red border and a rudraksha mala stands barefoot. On the left, a woman in a white blouse with her hair in a long braid faces away, and a woman in a black top stands at the edge. A woman at far right wears a blue-green sari. Several other people in orange, red and white clothing stand in the background.

Roughly a dozen people are visible.

A photograph of devotees gathered beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and spreading branches. The ground is bare red-brown earth with circular raised stone platforms around the trunk. A woman in a orange-and-gold sari stands near the center. Several people in white ritual clothes and white dhotis work at the base of the tree, one man in a white shirt carrying a camera, and a woman in a white sari kneels beside a small tool. Others in dark and patterned clothing stand nearby. The scene appears to be an outdoor ashram tree-tending or ground-preparation activity. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
