Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with red border and a rudraksha mala stands centre, smiling as he hands a small offering or sweet to a woman in a black and red saree with gold-bordered blouse and bangles, who holds her palms out. Behind him a man in white kurta with orange shawl and a dark pendant stands on the sand, and white-clad figures stand further back near a stone-lined pool. On a teal cloth at lower right sit a brass plate and oil lamps. Count of visible people is about four to five.

October 21 20062006-10-21Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with bare, dusty ground. A shaved-headed elderly priest with white forehead marks, a gold-beaded necklace and a green cloth over his shoulder holds a brass plate with small cups of coloured offerings. A bare-chested younger attendant with a beard and gold chain stands beside him. On the right, a long-haired person in an orange saffron wrap takes a bundle of yellow flowers and green leaves from a brass bowl held by the priest. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand watching, one with arms folded. The person in saffron has long hair and a saffron wrap, but the image does not establish identity, so the a person field is unsure.2004-12-31October 21 20062006-10-21 +1 copiesDecember 31 20062006-12-31October 21 20062006-10-21A photograph of an outdoor scene beside a building with a palm tree behind it. A person in an orange saffron robe with long dark curly hair stands in the right foreground, holding an ornate gold kalasha-style vessel with both hands while extending a hand toward a young man. The young man wears a white shirt and white dhoti-style clothing with a dark rudraksha-like mala necklace and gold bangles, and smiles with eyes lowered. To the left, a young man in a yellow-and-white striped shirt stands with his back partly turned, and a woman in white smiles in the background. Marigold petals are scattered on the scene. The robed figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, based on long swept hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, though this is an appearance-based label only.2009-12-23December 30 20072007-12-30October 21 20062006-10-21 +1 copiesNight photograph of an outdoor ritual beneath a large banyan tree with aerial roots.
