He wears a saffron-orange dhoti with gold borders and an orange shawl draped over his left shoulder and bare chest, a gold bead necklace, and a white forehead mark. His eyes are closed and his long dark hair falls down his back. A small pale stone and a lamp-like object sit near his feet. A red boundary wall and gravel are visible behind him. The page does not state that a person is present, and the appearance is not a clear enough match to confirm identity, so this is a devotee in meditative prayer.2013-03-01A photograph of a single person standing barefoot on bare earth beside a large banyan tree with many aerial roots. The person wears a saffron-orange robe, a long white, green and red flower garland hangs from the neck to the knees, and bangles or beaded wrist ornaments are visible on the right wrist. The person leans forward with the forehead resting against the trunk in a reverent pose. A white painted triangle is on the ground at lower left, and a faint circular logo appears at the bottom left corner. Sunlight and tree shadows fall across the scene.2006-12-29Photo 11681033 +3 copiesA smiling man with long dark hair and an orange headband stands barefoot beside a large banyan tree, his hand resting on its trunk.

To the left, another man in an orange shawl and white dhoti stands partly hidden behind the trunks.

A smiling woman in orange sari with a white flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste on a black polished floor, a white-fringed headcloth on her head. Behind her, saffron-robed monks carry a golden staff topped with a trident and a multicoloured canopy umbrella. To the left, a white-clad priest holds a red-and-orange shawl and a plate near a black deity murti in an arched silver frame, garlanded with marigolds and multicoloured flower strands, sitting on a red stone mound with offerings, a brass lamp and a kolam rangoli pattern on the ground.2008-12-29June 06 20132013-06-06A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a low stone platform, leaning his head and shoulder against the trunk of a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots.
