A bare-chested man with long dark hair, seen from behind, stands at the tree. Four men stand in a line facing the tree: the man second from left wears a red-and-saffron dhoti with a rudraksha mala and holds a metal plate; the man third from left wears an orange dhoti and shawl with rudraksha mala, white horizontal markings on his forehead and holds a silver plate with banana leaves; the man fourth from left wears orange cloth with white striped body markings and long braided hair, holding a leaf-covered plate; a young boy at right wears orange cloth and a rudraksha mala. This appears to be a ritual offering at the tree; no deity murti or fire is visible.2016-10-31October 17 20102010-10-17Outdoor photo in a leafy grove with a concrete path and red earth.
