A large old banyan tree with thick aerial roots and sprawling branches fills the frame, shading an open outdoor temple area. At the right, a shrine with a black stone linga and a green cloth draped on a pillar sits beside a heap of red flowers at its base. Two women in white and yellow saris stand at the shrine, one offering something at the linga. In the centre, a man in white shirt stands near the tree trunk, and at left a man in a light shirt sits on a low platform beside a woman in a green sari bending near the ground. The scene suggests a quiet puja under the banyan. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
