Outdoor photo at a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots and a garland of green leaves, white and red flowers draped along a trunk. Three barefoot men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand on a stone-paved path; the nearest holds a flaming oil lamp in one hand and a plate of yellow flowers in the other, while the men beside them wear head cloths, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and tilaka marks. A low brick-and-stone platform sits behind them. Rangoli-like marks and scattered petals lie on the pavement. A blue plaque reads a partial name near the base of the tree.

The men have shaved or cropped heads with topknots and bare upper bodies, with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and orange shawls. The nearest man holds a small oil lamp with a flame, the man beside him holds a brass plate of offerings, and a garland of marigold and red-white flowers hangs around the tree trunk. A blue sign reads 'Sit Under the Tree' near the base of the banyan, and a shallow stone platform with a white painted lotus design lies on the ground.2018-12-22December 22 20182018-12-22 +1 copiesA man stands in profile on a low stone platform beside a large banyan tree, one hand resting against its thick aerial roots.
