Rooted in Time: A Moment Beneath the Banyan

        Amid the tangled roots and ancient limbs of a giant banyan tree, a boy sits — shirtless, fearless, and part of nature’s sculpture. This photograph is more than a frame; it’s a story suspended in time. Captured in timeless black and white, the image strips away distraction and speaks directly to the soul.

        The banyan, often symbolic of shelter, memory, and resilience, mirrors the spirit of rural life. The boy, effortlessly at ease in this jungle of branches, reminds us of childhoods spent in the wild — away from screens, held by roots.

        This is not just street photography; it’s a portrait of connection — between man and tree, between the present and a deep cultural past. In moments like these, we see not only the subject but also ourselves.
