A large banyan tree dominates the frame, its broad canopy spreading across the top and sides, with many thick aerial roots hanging and descending from the branches to the sandy ground. Beneath the tree on the left stands a small dark shrine or murti with an orange-red cloth or shawl draped over it, set on a low raised mound of red-orange material with a border of white stones. Bright green leaves fill the branches and the open sandy ground surrounds the trunk. No people are visible.
