A photograph of a large banyan tree with many thick aerial roots and hanging prop roots forming a dense tangle around a small shrine-like niche at its base. In the foreground, a person seen from behind with long dark hair tied up, wearing an orange-brown garment with yellow borders and orange armbands, stands facing the tree on reddish earth. A black cable runs across the ground near a low stone wall. The scene appears to be an outdoor sacred grove setting.
