A sunlit outdoor garden at a Banyan Tree site. A large dense banyan tree with spreading dark green canopy stands in the background, its trunk and pillars visible beneath it. A curved concrete pathway with raised stone edging runs along the left side through bare reddish-brown earth. A small platform with dark red-brown material sits beneath the tree. Bright yellow-green shrubs and a slender tree fill the right foreground. No people are visible.

A photograph of an outdoor grove beneath a massive horizontal banyan branch with hanging aerial roots and dappled shade. Several people in white clothing walk and stand along a dirt path strewn with dry leaves, a low stone-edged channel running beside them. Among them a woman in a white sari stands near the centre, and a man in white kneels at the path's edge. The figures are small and distant, and no one is clearly identifiable as a specific individual.
