A large banyan tree with many thick, twisting aerial roots dominates the scene. In the foreground a man stands on a low stone platform in front of the trunk, wearing a green sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered wrap, a green dhoti-style lower garment, and a beaded necklace. He has his hands folded at his waist and a tilak on his forehead, and he is barefoot. No other people are visible.

He wears a green silk dhoti-style garment with gold-bordered yellow hem and gold circular motifs, a rudraksha-style bead mala with a gold medallion across his chest, a gold armlet, and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands are pressed together in front of his body in a respectful namaste-like gesture as he looks off to the side with a slight smile. A small blue-and-white sign is visible at the left edge of the frame. The scene is calm and devotional, with no other people visible.2011-12-01November 14 20112011-11-14July 11 20132013-07-11A barefoot man in saffron-orange robes stands on a stone platform, leaning his forehead and one hand against the thick aerial roots of a large banyan tree. He wears a dark rudraksha mala around his neck and has his dark hair tied in a bun. Sandy ground, a small stone structure and green foliage surround the tree. Whether this man is a person cannot be determined from appearance; he is described by role as a devotee in orange robes.2011-02-08September 10 20112011-09-10February 25 20132013-02-25A photograph of a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots and thick trunks. A single person in an orange saffron robe with a maroon border stands barefoot at the base, leaning forward with one hand pressed against the trunk, head bowed as if in prayer. Sandy ground and a stone platform surround the tree, with greenery and a light pole in the background. The figure has long dark hair tied up and a rudraksha-style necklace visible at the neck, but the face is not clearly discernible and no appearance-based candidate is confirmed, so the identity is uncertain.2011-01-31August 29 20112011-08-29 +1 copiesSeptember 02 20112011-09-02A barefoot man stands in front of a massive banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots, pressing his palms together at chest level in anjali mudra. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a blue sash with gold-bordered woven edging at the waist, long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and he has multiple gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet. A red bindi marks his forehead. Low stone steps and a small offering dish sit at the base of the tree, and a small purple sign is visible on the ground to the left. The scene suggests a devotional greeting at a sacred tree site.2011-10-17
