A photograph taken at night shows a man in an orange-saffron robe with gold trim, wearing a white and red flower garland, standing in profile and placing his right hand, with a gold bangle on the wrist, against the gnarled, intertwined aerial roots and trunk of a large banyan tree. Dark background, warm lighting on the robe and skin. Long, swept-back dark hair with visible cues consistent with the a person appearance, though identity is uncertain from the image alone.

The figure reaches out with one arm, placing a white and red garland against the tree bark, while aerial roots and tangled trunk sections surround them. Dark foliage fills the background, and a yellow mark is visible on the bark. Appearance cues include long swept hair and saffron clothing, so this is a person, but the identification is uncertain since the face is not clearly visible.2007-01-01December 26 20082008-12-26November 12 20102010-11-12November 16 20092009-11-16January 01 20072007-01-01January 04 20152015-01-04A photograph taken at night of a figure in an orange silk garment with a wide gold border, draped over the shoulder and torso, with bare feet, pressing one hand against the thick aerial roots of a large banyan tree trunk. A white and red garland hangs over the shoulder, and a second garland of yellow and red flowers is looped on the trunk to the right. Scattered marigold petals and flower heads lie on the sandy ground at the base of the tree. A second, partly visible person in white clothes stands in the dark background at left. The lighting is a harsh spotlight on the ground, leaving the rest of the scene in shadow. Possibly a ritual circumambulation or veneration of the tree. A white cloth hangs at the upper left corner.2007-01-01January 01 20072007-01-01April 24 20132013-04-24April 24 20132013-04-24
