Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots and a dark polished stone platform in the foreground reflecting the trees. A bare-backed figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap and stands barefoot near the trunk. To the right, an older man in white clothing with an orange shawl walks along the path, with another person partly visible at the edge of the frame. The figure's appearance includes long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, but the frame shows only the back and the identity is uncertain.

On a dark polished granite platform of square slabs on dirt ground, a figure in an orange saffron garment with a reddish-brown shawl and a white garland stands with hands folded at chest level. Two attendants in white dhotis and white shirts with yellow sashes stand to the right beside a low white stone wall, one holding an object. A stone bench and steps lead to the tree.

A saffron-robed figure with a flaming oil lamp or arati flame raised in one hand and a red-and-white flower garland around the neck stands on a dark polished stone slab. To the left, another saffron-robed person holds a trident-topped staff and presses palms together in prayer, while figures in white clothes with yellow shawls stand nearby. The scene suggests an arati or puja at the sacred tree.2009-12-27February 25 20072007-02-25October 07 20062006-10-07
