A photograph of a figure seen from behind and to the side, wearing a red-orange dhoti-style garment with yellow bands across the chest and waist, and a long garland of yellow and red flowers draped over the shoulders. The figure reaches toward the massive trunk of a banyan tree whose many aerial roots and hanging prop roots form a dense curtain around a dark hollow at the base. Stone steps and a low stone platform are visible at left, with a blue-covered object at the lower edge. The person's hair is pinned up in a bun. The figure's face is not clearly visible, so the appearance cue for the a person label is insufficient and the figure is described by role as a devotee performing a tree-side ritual.
