A photograph of a large ancient banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots and thick trunks forming a shrine-like hollow at its base. A figure in saffron-orange robes, with a draped sash over one shoulder and bare feet, stands facing the tree trunk with hands pressed to it. To the left, two men in white clothes sit cross-legged on a mat near the raised stone platform. Dry earth surrounds the tree, and a purple cloth hangs high in the branches. Sunlight filters through the green leaves.
