A photograph of a single standing man in an outdoor setting beside a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, his hands held together in front of him. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Garlands of yellow and orange flowers hang on the tree trunk. A low stone platform surrounds the tree base, and nearby stands a small black stone altar with brass oil lamps and a dark bowl of offerings. The ground is bare earth with dappled sunlight, and a red-painted stone structure appears at the right. A rough sign reads Pada-Puja context implied by setting; the scene suggests a padapuja at a sacred tree.2010-11-18November 18 20102010-11-18 +2 copiesFebruary 23 20112011-02-23September 27 20112011-09-27November 12 20112011-11-12A photograph of a large banyan tree with many thick aerial roots and spreading branches, surrounded by a low white and grey stone platform.

To the right, a large dark stone sculpture of a seated deity is draped in an orange cloth and garlanded with purple, yellow and red flower garlands, with a tall silver pillar beside it. In the foreground, a red-smeared rock-shaped stone with a small brass lamp and offerings rests on a raised platform, and a stone bench sits near the tree's base. The scene reads as a pada puja setting, with the standing devotee at the sculpture's side.2010-11-18 +3 copiesDecember 02 20092009-12-02September 20 20112011-09-20December 31 20082008-12-31November 21 20112011-11-21A standing man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-edged dhoti stands on a dark stone platform beneath a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots.
