The figure reaches toward the massive trunk of a banyan tree whose many aerial roots and hanging prop roots form a dense curtain around a dark hollow at the base. Stone steps and a low stone platform are visible at left, with a blue-covered object at the lower edge. The person's hair is pinned up in a bun. The figure's face is not clearly visible, so the appearance cue for the a person label is insufficient and the figure is described by role as a devotee performing a tree-side ritual.2015-09-08July 19 20162016-07-19Outdoor photo of a procession under a large banyan tree with aerial roots, where a flower garland of red, yellow, orange and white blooms is draped over the trunk. In the foreground, a man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a rust-coloured turban, wearing a rust-red cloth, a gold armlet and a flower garland, holds a brass vessel and speaks into a microphone. Behind him, several young men and boys in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha beads, some with flower garlands, stand on a stone path. A cameraman in an orange garment films, and an ornate multicoloured canopy is visible on poles. Garlanded figures and a person in white ritual clothing are present among the trees.2016-12-14December 30 20172017-12-30December 30 20072007-12-30April 24 20192019-04-24December 23 20162016-12-23December 30 20172017-12-30
