Close photograph of a banyan tree at the Banyan Tree Bidadi site. Thick grey branches and trunks dominate the frame, and several reddish-brown aerial roots hang down in clusters, some dried and dark, others pale golden-tan at the tips. Green leaves sit at the top edge. Behind the tree, out of focus, are a teal-green fence or wall, a white building wall and a low reddish-brown boundary edge. No people are visible.
