A woman in a pale yellow-green sari with a dark rudraksha-style mala around her neck stands barefoot on a dark polished stone platform, facing a large old banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches. Circular stone platforms encircle the tree trunks on a red earthen ground. Her hands are held together in front of her in a devotional gesture.
