Two men sit cross-legged on a dark polished stone floor in meditation beneath a large banyan tree with tangled aerial roots. The man on the left wears a white shirt and white dhoti, a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a dark rudraksha-style mala around his neck, hands resting in his lap. The man on the right wears a pale grey-green polo shirt and blue jeans, eyes closed, hands folded, with a yellow cloth beside him. Behind them a dark shrine opening is draped with red and white flower garlands, and a granite bench carries a white decorative design. The scene reflects a quiet meditation or devotional sitting at a banyan-tree shrine.

A man with short dark hair sits cross-legged on bare ground under a large tree with exposed roots, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a white kurta and white loose trousers with an orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and crossed at the chest. A white vertical forehead mark with a red dot is visible. Dry leaves and grass surround him, with more trees and a low fence in the background. This is a plain outdoor meditation scene; no clear a person cues such as a crown, turban, rudraksha malas or ornate gold jewellery are visible, so identity is uncertain.2007-05-04July 19 20102010-07-19October 12 20112011-10-12Outdoor photo of several people seated cross-legged in meditation on sandy ground among palm trees and a white stupa-like structure at left.
