Outdoors on a sandy path beneath a large spreading banyan tree with thick aerial roots and branches overhead. A man in the centre walks barefoot with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing a white turban, a white shawl and dhoti with gold borders, a long white-and-garland of white jasmine and red flowers, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. Behind him, a bearded man in an orange sannyasi robe walks, and in the background several people in white and orange clothing follow along the path. The figure in the centre has long hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, consistent with a person leading a procession, though the identification rests on appearance alone.2005-01-01A photograph of a single person standing barefoot on bare earth beside a large banyan tree with many aerial roots.
