Numerous aerial roots hang down and merge into thick prop-root columns around the trunk, and the ground beneath is bare reddish earth edged by concrete steps. Near the base at lower centre, a small blue sign reads 'DO NOT ENTER THE CAVE', and a dark cave opening is visible beneath the roots. No people are visible in the scene.2011-08-01August 04 20122012-08-04A large banyan tree with many thick aerial prop roots hanging from wide spreading branches, forming a dense grey trunk cluster over reddish-brown earth.

No people are visible in the scene.2008-12-10August 23 20152015-08-23A large, ancient banyan tree dominates the frame, with a sprawling canopy of spreading grey branches and dense green leaves. Many aerial roots hang down and merge into thick trunk-like columns around the central trunk. The reddish-brown earth beneath is enclosed by curved low stone or concrete borders forming a ring around the base.

No people are visible.2010-07-14December 07 20132013-12-07A large old banyan tree with a dense network of pale, thick aerial roots descending from wide spreading branches to a red-earth ground. Green leaves cling to the trunk-like roots, and a strand of white beaded garland is strung between roots at the right. Thin black irrigation hoses run along the reddish soil and small stone-edged paving, with no people visible.2010-07-27
