A large, gnarled banyan-type tree with thick grey intertwined trunks and dense green oval leaves fills the frame at night. Its aerial roots reach down to the ground. Beside it stands a low whitewashed platform with a blue trim and a blue-and-white dotted pot-shaped top, lit by a small bulb. At the far left edge, two women in yellow and orange sarees are partly visible behind a red railing. No readable text appears in the scene itself.

A photograph of a large, old tree with a thick, grey-brown fibrous trunk and wide spreading branches covered in green leaves, viewed from below against a pale sky. Dense green shrubs and undergrowth fill the lower foreground. No people, deities, or ritual objects are visible. The bark has a vertical, textured appearance, and the tree occupies most of the frame.

A photograph of a large banyan-type tree with a thick grey trunk covered in aerial roots, its massive horizontal branches extending across the frame with green leaves. Beneath the branches lies open ground carpeted with low green ground cover and bare patches of reddish soil, with dense shrubs and bushes behind. No people are visible in the scene.

Photograph looking upward into a large spreading tree with thick, pale grey branches that twist and fork across the frame. Dense green leaves filter bright sunlight, casting dappled light and shadow on the trunks. No people, ritual objects or figures are visible; the scene is purely natural foliage and branching.

A large banyan tree with a thick, multi-trunked canopy spreading across the frame. Many pale aerial roots hang and descend from the wide branches, and dense green leaves fill the upper half against a bright sky. A small purple cloth or flag is tied to a branch at the upper left. A white vertical pipe or post stands near the lower right beside the trunk base. No people are visible.
