A large banyan tree dominates the frame, its wide spreading branches and many hanging aerial roots forming a dense green canopy. Thick roots descend from the limbs into a trunk cluster set on circular raised earth beds. Several tall white pipe posts stand around the tree base. At the far left edge, an orange-clad figure stands near a small shrine area with a mirror-like frame and red items. Bright sky shows through gaps in the leaves.
