A photograph of a large, ancient banyan tree with a wide spreading canopy of thick, grey, sinewy branches and dense green leaves. Numerous aerial prop roots hang down and fuse into a thick cluster of trunks around a central base. Dappled sunlight filters through the foliage. No people are visible; a small orange-roofed structure appears at the lower right edge.
