A dark stone statue of a seated figure stands beside a large banyan tree, draped in orange cloth with a red-orange head wrap and garlanded with yellow and purple marigold strands. A carved silver-toned arch frames the statue, and the sprawling aerial roots and dense canopy of the banyan fill the background. Red earth ground, a circular brick planter around a tree trunk, and an orange wall are visible at the right. No physical people are present.
