A raised orange-draped seat under a decorative red-and-gold canopy holds a figure in saffron robes at the centre-right, with a golden ornamented umbrella and a gold-and-red garland beside it. Seated devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, with a woman in a teal sari among them, sit on a sandy floor in front of the seat, several with hands folded in prayer. A large stone with garlands and a carved snake-like form lies at the right foreground. The figure on the seat's build and dress match the candidate, but the face is too distant to confirm identity, so the a person field is set to unsure.2005-07-21June 04 20092009-06-04A photograph of an outdoor ritual gathering beneath a large spreading banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots.
