Small plastic toy dolls in pink, yellow, green and blue outfits hang from strings, alongside dried coconuts, strands of beaded necklaces, and yellow, orange, red and green cloth threads wrapped around the branches. No people or a person are visible; the scene is a close view of votive offerings hung on the tree.2018-05-08A blurred outdoor photograph in a leafy garden setting, with a large tree trunk on the left covered in hanging offerings: small dolls, orange and yellow threads, and red strings tied to its branches. In the background stands a statue of a bearded male figure wearing a black crown-like headpiece adorned with pink flower garlands, a long garland of pink and white flowers around the neck, and a rust-brown robe. Tropical green foliage and a tiled roof are visible behind him. The statue is a depiction, not a physically present person.2018-05-08 +1 copiesJune 20th 20152015-06-20 +1 copiesOctober 12 20172017-10-12Outdoor photograph of a large old banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches forming a canopy over a sandy ground.
