A large weathered tree trunk at a temple site is covered with offerings tied on by thread. Small plastic toy dolls in pink, yellow, green and blue outfits hang from strings, alongside dried coconuts, strands of beaded necklaces, and yellow, orange, red and green cloth threads wrapped around the branches. No people or a person are visible; the scene is a close view of votive offerings hung on the tree.

May 08 20182018-05-08A blurred outdoor photograph in a leafy garden setting, with a large tree trunk on the left covered in hanging offerings: small dolls, orange and yellow threads, and red strings tied to its branches. In the background stands a statue of a bearded male figure wearing a black crown-like headpiece adorned with pink flower garlands, a long garland of pink and white flowers around the neck, and a rust-brown robe. Tropical green foliage and a tiled roof are visible behind him. The statue is a depiction, not a physically present person.2018-05-08 +1 copiesMay 08 20182018-05-08 +1 copiesOutdoor photo beside a large old tree whose trunk is hung with orange and red threads, small dolls, and coconut-like offerings tied with cords.

In the lower right, a bare-chested man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and gold necklace stands with palms pressed together in prayer before the trunk. Behind him, a man in a white shirt and another in orange cloth stand in green-leafed surroundings.2015-01-04January 04 20152015-01-04A photograph of a group of people, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez, gathered among the branches and red soil of a large leafy tree. Several figures in orange and saffron clothing stand among them, one in a green sari reaching for a branch, another in a red top and black pants gripping a limb, and a woman in white with a cream shawl touching the foliage. Some people stand on a raised earthen mound beneath the tree, while others climb or lean into the canopy. The scene appears to be an outdoor gathering at a tree site with participants interacting closely with the branches.2016-09-11A photograph of a bare-chested man in rust-red and saffron cloth standing before a large banyan tree wrapped with orange threads and red ribbons. He wears a black turban decorated with pink and white flowers, a thick red-and-white flower garland across his chest, gold armband and bangles, and rudraksha beads. A second person in orange cloth stands behind him at right. A small silver-roofed shrine box sits at lower left beside the tree trunk. Judging by the page's flag and his appearance, the man in front is a person in an in_person setting; the presentation cues are the turban, flower garland and rudraksha, though the face is partly turned away.2018-05-08October 22 20122012-10-22December 03 20162016-12-03
