February 23 20112011-02-23December 02 20092009-12-02August 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesA photograph of a single standing man in an outdoor setting beside a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, his hands held together in front of him. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Garlands of yellow and orange flowers hang on the tree trunk. A low stone platform surrounds the tree base, and nearby stands a small black stone altar with brass oil lamps and a dark bowl of offerings. The ground is bare earth with dappled sunlight, and a red-painted stone structure appears at the right. A rough sign reads Pada-Puja context implied by setting; the scene suggests a padapuja at a sacred tree.2010-11-18 +1 copiesA photograph of a person in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with maroon borders, bare-backed, standing barefoot and pressed against the massive trunk of a banyan tree with dense aerial roots. The figure wears a rudraksha mala around the neck and leans forward with hands on the bark. At the base of the tree is a small stone shrine recess with a dark opening, set on a sandy ground with stone platforms nearby. The figure's face is not visible, so identity cannot be determined from appearance.2011-02-11June 12 20102010-06-12A barefoot person in an orange saffron dhoti and wrap stands on a stone platform, pressing their face and hands against the trunk of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots.
