To the right, a large dark stone sculpture of a seated deity is draped in an orange cloth and garlanded with purple, yellow and red flower garlands, with a tall silver pillar beside it. In the foreground, a red-smeared rock-shaped stone with a small brass lamp and offerings rests on a raised platform, and a stone bench sits near the tree's base. The scene reads as a pada puja setting, with the standing devotee at the sculpture's side.2010-11-18 +3 copiesSeptember 11 20132013-09-11November 18 20102010-11-18 +1 copiesOutdoors beneath a large banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots, a man in a yellow dhoti-style cloth and yellow shawl stands barefoot with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a flower garland and a tilak on his forehead.

A person in saffron-orange and red robes with a red-and-gold shawl stands at left on a concrete path, hands joined at the chest, gazing upward toward a large black stone deity murti at right. The murti wears a yellow cloth, red flower garland and gold necklaces, and sits on a dark stone plinth ringed with red-painted stones and scattered flowers. A small brass oil lamp sits before it. Red earth and a low stone bench complete the setting. The person's appearance is not clearly established as a person, so the a person field is unsure.2013-09-11
