December 26 20102010-12-26A large banyan tree with thick aerial roots and buttressed trunks stands on sandy ground under a canopy of green leaves. A person in an orange saffron garment with a bare upper back stands at the right, hands pressed together in namaste before the tree, with long dark hair swept back and a white and red garland around the neck. A yellow, red and white flower garland hangs from a branch of the trunk, and scattered petals lie on the ground.
