November 18 20102010-11-18 +3 copiesA photograph of a single standing man in an outdoor setting beside a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, his hands held together in front of him. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Garlands of yellow and orange flowers hang on the tree trunk. A low stone platform surrounds the tree base, and nearby stands a small black stone altar with brass oil lamps and a dark bowl of offerings. The ground is bare earth with dappled sunlight, and a red-painted stone structure appears at the right. A rough sign reads Pada-Puja context implied by setting; the scene suggests a padapuja at a sacred tree.2010-11-18 +1 copiesNovember 18 20102010-11-18March 02 20112011-03-02December 11 20112011-12-11 +1 copiesA barefoot man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands on a raised stone platform beneath a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots.
