A large old banyan tree with thick grey aerial roots dominates the scene, its leafy canopy spreading overhead. A dark hollow opening sits at the base of the trunk beside a wooden pallet. Around it lie exposed reddish-brown soil, cut earth banks, grey pipes, black cables and a low concrete ring wall. A red compound wall and green foliage appear in the background, and a pile of grey rocks sits at the right. No people are visible.
