A large old sacred fig tree with heart-shaped green leaves dominates the foreground, its trunk and low branches hung with many colourful cloth strips and prayer flags in red, yellow, blue and white. A lush green lawn and a brick path lead toward a small open-sided shelter in the middle distance, where a few people in light clothing stand near a bright orange cloth. Strings of multicoloured prayer flags run along the left edge and across the background. To the right, low brick foundations and a small group of people in white clothing stand near a distant structure.
