In the foreground a small raised circular platform holds a red-painted stone mound with a tall metal trident-like stand and a standing deity murti draped in red cloth and garlands. Three people stand nearby on sandy ground: a woman in an orange sari-style garment on the left, and two men in white dhoti-and-shirt ritual clothes, one wearing an orange shawl with a flower garland. The setting looks like an outdoor shrine or puja spot.2007-02-25February 25 20072007-02-25August 21 20112011-08-21A large banyan tree with many spreading aerial roots and hanging prop roots forms a canopy over a shrine area.

Beneath it, a shaded sandy courtyard holds a raised red-painted mound with a seated black deity murti draped in orange and red cloth, circled by a dark ribbed border. A single person in white clothing with orange garments kneels on the ground before the mound, apparently in prostration or puja. Nearby stand a dark stone slab, low concrete platforms around the trunk, and white-painted pillars supporting the tree area, with a tree in the left foreground.2010-10-20October 20 20102010-10-20November 19 20092009-11-19
