A photograph of a large banyan tree with massive horizontal limbs and many hanging aerial roots forming a shaded canopy over a sandy ground. Circular raised stone platforms surround several trunks, and a few people walk among them on the reddish earth. Visible figures include a woman in a teal top and dark trousers, a person in white with orange-saffron garments nearby, and others in orange and white clothing at the far right. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable, so the figures are described by role and dress only.

Outdoor photograph beneath a massive banyan tree with many aerial roots and thick buttress trunks. Several people sit or stand in the dappled shade on sandy ground: a woman in a pink and white sari sits cross-legged at the base with a small object in her hands, an older woman in a blue and purple sari sits against the trunk, and a woman in a blue floral sari stands at left. Other seated figures wear white and purple garments, and a man in a white checked shirt and black trousers leans toward the trunk. No a person candidate is clearly visible.

A photograph of a large banyan tree with many thick aerial roots hanging and twisting down along the trunk. In the centre, a slender hanging root cluster rises from a ring of grey granite blocks on red-brown earth. To the right, a group of people in white and pastel clothing walk barefoot across the dusty ground under the shade. Foreground figures include a woman in a white top and white trousers at right, a woman in a mint-green kurta with an orange waist sash, and a woman in a white kurta with an orange dupatta. Dappled sunlight falls across the scene and the background shows more participants and green foliage.

In the left foreground a line of devotees in orange and saffron garments, some in orange saris, walks along a dirt path, while a man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands at the front. A monk in orange robes stands near a wooden post, and a few people in red and maroon clothes are nearby. On the right, a figure in orange sits under the tree near a seated woman in white and green, with a small deity shrine and metal railings beyond. Dirt ground, green shrubs, and cables are visible in the foreground.

A photograph of devotees gathered at the base of a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots and sprawling limbs in an outdoor shrine area. Several people in orange and saffron garments and white dhotis stand in a cluster near a small roped-off enclosure, some reaching toward the tree trunk. A bare-chested man in an orange cloth stands at the front of the group, and a woman in a green sari and another in a pink sari stand to the left. A small figure in orange robes stands further right near a red-painted structure, and a woman in white sits on a bench at the far right. Tall railings and a red shrine structure are visible beyond the tree.

Three women walk and carry white vessels on the dry red earth beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and thick low branches. The woman in front, in white clothes with a white dupatta, balances a white pot on her head. Behind her, a woman in a green blouse and white sari stands with hands folded beside a low concrete ring, and another woman in a pink sari raises a white vessel near the trunk. Black hoses run across the ground by the stone borders.

A photograph of devotees gathered beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots and spreading branches. The ground is bare red-brown earth with circular raised stone platforms around the trunk. A woman in a orange-and-gold sari stands near the center. Several people in white ritual clothes and white dhotis work at the base of the tree, one man in a white shirt carrying a camera, and a woman in a white sari kneels beside a small tool. Others in dark and patterned clothing stand nearby. The scene appears to be an outdoor ashram tree-tending or ground-preparation activity. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
