A photograph at a large banyan tree with many aerial roots hanging and wrapping around its trunk. Beneath the tree a small stone shrine opening with a dark interior sits near the base. A young woman with long dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over a red top and walks barefoot toward the shrine. Around her, several people stand in a loose group on bare earth: a boy in a pink shirt and blue jeans, a man in a blue shirt and white trousers, a man in grey with glasses, a woman in a maroon sari with a handbag, and a man in an orange robe with a beaded necklace at the right edge. Several figures appear to be devotees visiting the shrine. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance here.
