Outdoor scene beneath a large spreading banyan tree with thick low branches and a dirt ground surrounded by a low stone platform. A man in white clothing sits on the stone ledge at left, hands resting in his lap. A standing man in white kurta and white dhoti, with a white cloth over his shoulder, stands in the centre near a metal pole, his arm raised toward a hanging branch. At right, a seated man in white garments sits cross-legged on a dark mat. Green plastic containers sit at the lower left. The scene appears to show a tree-side ritual setting, with no visible saffron or ornate garments to support any identification.
