The murti wears an orange cloth, a red-and-white garland and is flanked by ornaments. A red-powdered offering sits on a raised base in front, and a child in white stands at the left edge. Devotees in white ritual clothes, some with rudraksha-style necklaces, a woman in a pink-and-striped dress and others in orange and pink, stand in a semicircle with hands folded. A man in a red shirt holds a camera at the left. The scene is a darshan at an outdoor shrine with aerial roots hanging from the banyan.2011-08-19June 17 20092009-06-17July 03 20102010-07-03June 09 20092009-06-09Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree at an ashram. In the left foreground a black stone murti of a seated deity in orange cloth with a red headdress and white and red flower garlands sits in an arched white and yellow shrine niche, in front of a mound of red-orange kumkum or sindoor. Around the shrine stand devotees in white clothes with hands folded in namaskar, a woman in a white sari, a bald man in a white shirt, and a man in a white t-shirt and dark pants. On the right a woman in pink and an older woman with grey hair and glasses stand watching. Two people in a distant orange-clad group appear behind them. The count is approximate.2011-08-19September 24 20162016-09-24March 14 20162016-03-14Outdoors under dense green trees, a figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair, seen from behind on the right, holds a lit flame over a brass vessel toward a dark stone deity murti in a silver arched shrine. The murti wears an orange cloth, a rudraksha-style mala and garlands of yellow and pink flowers, and stands on a golden cloth with flower offerings. A standing crowd of devotees in white and light clothing watches with hands folded in prayer, including a woman in a sari and small children. The scene resembles an aarti at a garlanded murti.2005-07-21
