A large, ancient banyan tree dominates the scene, its thick trunks and many aerial prop roots rising from a circular raised platform of stone. Dense green leaves and wide spreading branches canopy the open courtyard, with dappled sunlight filtering through. Pillars and a small paved area lie beneath the branches at the right, and a patch of orange and red flowers or offerings sits near the lower right edge. No people are visible.
