In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, stands with palms pressed together and a white and yellow flower garland around his neck. Around him, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls carry offering trays and a white vessel. On the right, a dark stone deity murti with a white cloth draped over it and a yellow and red flower garland stands on a plinth scattered with red petals. A photographer stands near the murti, and a red-earth path runs through the scene.2006-12-29December 28 20092009-12-28January 01 20172017-01-01Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots. A tall figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, stands with palms pressed together in prayer, a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads. Around them a crowd of devotees in white ritual clothes sit and stand, hands folded, including a woman in a white sari with red border and a woman in lavender. At right, a stone cobra hood sculpture is draped with a garland of multicoloured flowers and yellow marigold strands, with a kalasha-like stone base; a figure in white kneels beside it. Woven mats cover the ground. The banyan trunk and lush foliage fill the background.2006-07-23July 07 20092009-07-07
