A photograph of a large banyan tree with massive spreading limbs and many hanging aerial roots dropping toward the ground. The trunks are grey and thick, and the branches arch horizontally over a reddish-brown dirt pathway. Several curved, low stone or concrete rings encircle the bases of the trunks, and the path winds between them. No people are visible in the scene.

A large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots and sprawling horizontal limbs fills the frame. Its grey trunks are wrapped by thin roots descending to the ground, which is reddish-brown earth. Several circular raised stone platforms with low cream-coloured walls surround the trunks. No people are visible. A thin rope or wire runs diagonally across the scene.

A large ancient banyan tree dominates the scene, with a thick trunk, many aerial prop roots hanging and merging into a dense canopy of sprawling limbs. Low concrete planter-like borders surround the base on sandy ground, a metal railing sits at the right edge, and a small concrete block stands near the trunk. No people are visible. Faint red marks on the ground and a red-orange wall appear in the background.

A photograph of a large ancient banyan tree with thick aerial roots and sprawling horizontal limbs in an open grove. Around its trunk are circular stone platforms with steps and a low stone bench on a sandy ground, with a dark polished stone pavement in the foreground. No people are visible, and the scene is shaded by dappled sunlight through the leaves.

A large banyan tree with many spreading horizontal branches and numerous hanging aerial roots forming multiple trunk-like columns. Dappled green foliage fills the upper frame, and reddish-brown earth lies beneath the roots. No people, deities or ritual activity are visible; the setting is a natural tree grove.

A photograph of a large banyan tree with massive horizontal limbs and many hanging aerial roots forming a shaded canopy over a sandy ground. Circular raised stone platforms surround several trunks, and a few people walk among them on the reddish earth. Visible figures include a woman in a teal top and dark trousers, a person in white with orange-saffron garments nearby, and others in orange and white clothing at the far right. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable, so the figures are described by role and dress only.

A large old banyan tree dominates the scene, with a massive trunk and many aerial prop roots hanging and wrapping around the trunk and branches. A raised circular stone platform with a low wall surrounds the base of the tree, and red-brown earth lies beneath it. A small dark stone shrine or seat sits at the base of the trunk. To the left, a wet dark stone surface and red cushions or mats are visible near the platform. A bright green leaf enters from the upper right. No people are present.
