A photograph of an outdoor grove beneath a massive horizontal banyan branch with hanging aerial roots and dappled shade. Several people in white clothing walk and stand along a dirt path strewn with dry leaves, a low stone-edged channel running beside them. Among them a woman in a white sari stands near the centre, and a man in white kneels at the path's edge. The figures are small and distant, and no one is clearly identifiable as a specific individual.
