A photograph of an outdoor garden path at a tree-shaded grounds, with a winding paved walkway of stone slabs and brick edging crossing reddish earth. Large spreading tree canopy with broad green leaves frames the scene. In the middle right, a raised shrine mound is covered with a heap of red flower petals and marigold-like blossoms, with a small dark stone monument and red and white cloth draped on a pole behind it. Thick aerial roots and trunks of banyan-type trees stand in the background. No people are visible.
