A large old banyan tree with thick grey, buttressed trunks and spreading green canopy stands beside a long pale stone temple wall capped with a carved cornice. At the base of the tree sits a small dark stone Ganesha shrine on a low plinth, approached by a few worn concrete steps bordered by a crumbling low wall. Overgrown grass and shrubs surround the shrine, and green hills rise in the background under an overcast sky. No people are visible.
