At its base, within a small arched stone shrine framed by carved pillars, stands a black stone deity murti wearing a saffron-orange cloth, a red and yellow flower garland, and a small red-orange crown-like cap. Brick-and-stone paving surrounds the tree base, with steps leading up to the shrine platform. Green foliage fills the upper frame.2010-12-03June 14 20162016-06-14June 14 20162016-06-14A photograph of an outdoor shrine area beneath a large banyan tree with thick, twisting aerial roots and hanging vines. A paved stone path leads toward a gated enclosure with a metal railing. On the right, a deity murti in gold and silver ornamentation stands beside a dark stone figure wearing an orange-and-red cloth, white and red garlands, and a tilak, set within a green-curtained niche with an ornate white arch. A seated figure in white appears faintly in the far background near the red wall. Scattered leaves cover the pavement and construction tools lie at the lower right.2016-10-26 +1 copiesAugust 31 20182018-08-31A large, sprawling banyan tree dominates the frame, its thick grey trunk and many aerial roots spreading into wide, low-hanging branches with green leaves. Beneath the canopy at right stands a small white open pavilion sheltering a dark stone deity murti or shivalinga-like form decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands, set on a red painted base. A tall metal pole and light fixture rise nearby, and a white-walled compound edge and sandy ground surround the tree. No people are visible.2008-12-10July 31 20132013-07-31
