Outdoor scene at the base of a large spreading tree with thick grey-brown branches and green leaves. Many women in saffron-orange and white clothing, some in teal, green and lavender saris, work on bare earth around the trunk, several kneeling and bending low. Plastic buckets and red containers sit on the ground, and a few people stand with pale cloths. Onlookers in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background. No clearly identifiable a person is visible; the people present are devotees and attendants.

A photograph of a wooded outdoor site with a large spreading tree whose low branches arch across the frame. Several women in white and cream saris and salwar kameez stand and crouch on reddish-brown earth around the tree base, some tending small bowls or buckets and others reaching into the branches. Two figures in saffron-orange robes stand near the centre, one with a shaved head and one with long dark hair, and a person in white stands at the upper right on the branch. A woman in a bright red top and dark skirt holding a black bag stands in the foreground. The page does not name an event, and the scene shows no visible a person candidate with sufficient cues, so the saffron-robed figures are described by role only. Roughly a dozen people are visible.2016-09-11A photograph of a group of people, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez, gathered among the branches and red soil of a large leafy tree.
