In the foreground at lower left, a woman with long dark hair and a red-and-brown patterned skirt holds a lit oil lamp or flame near a small wooden stand bearing offerings. A man in white clothes kneels on the roots near the centre, holding a camera. A metal railing and a low stone platform sit behind. The setting suggests a tree puja at a sacred banyan.2014-06-06Banyan TreeJune 04 20142014-06-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a large banyan tree with many thick aerial roots and hanging prop roots forming a dense tangle around a small shrine-like niche at its base. In the foreground, a person seen from behind with long dark hair tied up, wearing an orange-brown garment with yellow borders and orange armbands, stands facing the tree on reddish earth. A black cable runs across the ground near a low stone wall. The scene appears to be an outdoor sacred grove setting.2012-04-23 +2 copiesA woman in a lavender-purple sari with a silver-edged border stands with her back to the camera, facing a massive old banyan tree with thick, twisting aerial roots and dense green foliage. Her long dark hair falls down her back and her hands are raised together near her chest in a prayer gesture. Small yellow offerings are visible at the base of the trunk. Sunlight filters through the leaves. A faint purple logo appears in the upper left corner.2010-12-28June 06 20142014-06-06June 06 20142014-06-06February 05 20152015-02-05January 04 20152015-01-04
