Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots, five people stand on sandy ground decorated with white chalk-drawn patterns, including a trident-like motif. A figure with long dark hair in an orange saffron garment with gold trim gestures upward toward the tree while speaking. Beside them a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a sacred thread and a green-bordered cloth on his shoulder stands near a woman in white sari with a head covering who holds a small object. Two older men in white dhoti and white shirts stand to the right, and a yellow and maroon flower garland hangs on the tree trunk at left.

February 01 20182018-02-01A photograph taken outdoors beneath a large old banyan tree with thick aerial roots and hanging vines. Three people stand on sandy ground decorated with white kolam line drawings. On the left, a figure with long swept-back hair wears an orange saffron garment with a gold border and a long rudraksha-style beaded necklace; the page indicates a person is present, but the cues are only partial, so identity remains uncertain. In the centre, a woman in a white sari holds a small camera. On the right, a man in white shirt and white dhoti stands with his hands loosely clasped. A marigold garland hangs on the tree trunk at left, and a photographer is partly visible at the far left edge. Blue and white structures appear in the distant background.2006-12-27A photograph of a large, ancient banyan tree with dense aerial roots and hanging vines, a garland of orange and white flowers draped along the trunk at left.
