A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a long rudraksha mala around his neck, stands on a dark polished stone platform beside a huge old banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches. Sandy ground and a low stone plinth surround the tree, and a small shrine opening is visible at its base. The man's hair is long and dark, and he gestures with one hand as if speaking.

A large banyan tree with many thick aerial roots and hanging prop roots forms the centre of the scene, rising above a circular stone platform with a low white curb and steps. A single person in saffron-orange robes stands at the right edge of the platform, appearing to walk, with short dark hair and bare feet. Dry reddish earth surrounds the base of the tree and a small dark opening is visible at the foot of the trunk. Other trees and open ground fill the background under bright daylight.2009-08-17August 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesAugust 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesMarch 22 20132013-03-22December 31 20082008-12-31A photograph of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and trunks, at the base of which stands a dark cave-like opening.
