Outdoors beneath a large spreading banyan tree, a figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a painted forehead walks forward holding a wooden staff, head bowed. To the left, several older men in white dress and white garlands stand with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, other devotees in white bow in prayer near a red-draped shrine platform decorated with marigold garlands and flowers at the base of the tree. Dappled light falls on the bare earth ground.

A central figure in a flowing saffron-orange cloth with long, swept-back hair and a red mark on the forehead walks forward with hands at his sides; the cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a forehead mark, but the identity is uncertain. Behind him a bare-chested young boy in an orange dhoti stands with hands joined near a dark stone murti and a pile of red offerings. To the right a bearded sadhu in orange with a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas stands near a shrine. A woman in a red-brown sari with gold border walks at left, a man in white clothes stands beside the central figure, a woman in a patterned salwar with hands folded in namaskar stands at right, and a woman in a white shawl bends forward in front of a small child in red. A small child in red stands in the foreground on the path.2006-12-13October 07 20062006-10-07July 11 20062006-07-11July 12 20062006-07-12Outdoor photograph beneath dense green trees at a site with a large banyan-type tree whose thick aerial roots and trunk dominate the right side. A man in plain white dhoti and white shawl stands at the centre, one arm extended to rest his hand on the tree trunk. Around him, several men in white kurtas and white dhotis walk along a stone path, with a bald older man in front wearing white and an orange-saffron shawl and glasses. Dirt ground and a low stone edging lie in the foreground.2009-10-15Outdoors under trees, a figure in an orange saffron robe with a red and white flower garland and long dark hair extends a hand in blessing toward an elderly man in white who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Around them, men and women in white dhotis, kurtas and sarees, some wearing rudraksha beads, stand on a ground covered with green leaves. A man in a white kurta at left gestures with raised palms, and a woman in white with a white hair flower watches. A musician with a flute or pipe appears among the crowd.2010-01-20
