Photograph of a large banyan tree with many aerial roots wrapping around a dark cave opening at its base. A blue sign reads "DO NOT ENTER THE CAVE" on a concrete ledge. A yellow and red flower garland hangs across the cave entrance, with scattered yellow marigold petals on the ground. On the right, a bare-chested person with long dark hair wears a lavender-purple dhoti and shawl and stands barefoot with head bowed toward the tree, hands folded at the waist.

He holds his hands in front of him in a gesture of offering, and yellow marigold garlands lie on the raised stone platform around the tree base. A blue sign reading part of a line ending in THE CAVE is visible at lower left, and red brick walls and trees are behind him.2010-12-28October 05 20112011-10-05February 12 20112011-02-12August 26 20112011-08-26January 22 20112011-01-22December 29 20102010-12-29February 01 20112011-02-01
