A night-time photograph of an outdoor ritual beneath a large banyan tree with aerial roots. A bare-chested man in a dark dhoti stands on a stone-paved path, wearing a long pink-and-white flower garland and an orange-gold turban, holding a lit lamp or flame near a rangoli of coloured powder on the stones. A strong light source glows behind the tree. At right, a banyan trunk is draped with green and purple flower garlands. At left, another figure in orange clothing and a white-clad attendant stand near a flower-decorated altar. The man has distinctive ceremonial cues but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

Night photograph of an outdoor ritual at a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots and a circular stone platform. A man stands barefoot on stone slabs, wearing a dark wrap and a shawl with a pale beaded mala, with a flame or lit lamp in his hands. Behind him a figure in white holds a tray. Strings of yellow and purple flower garlands hang on the right, and a colourful rangoli design lies on the stone path. Bright light glows at the top of the frame.2017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11November 11 20172017-11-11December 30 20172017-12-30December 30 20172017-12-30December 02 20172017-12-02May 27 20142014-05-27
