A large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots stands in an outdoor temple grounds, lit by warm low sunlight from the left. At its base is a raised white platform with small red and patterned mats laid on the ground, a white circular planter, a green plastic basin, and a flower garland hanging on the trunk. To the right, a red rock-like shrine holds a dark serpent-shaped sculpture, with a small lamp and a black bench nearby. No people are visible.
