A large, sprawling banyan tree dominates the frame, its many thick aerial roots and spreading branches covering a shaded courtyard. At the base of the tree on the right, a black stone deity murti or Shiva lingam sits draped with a green cloth and marked with yellow and red ornamentation, with red offering flowers piled in front. Several people stand around the tree: a man in a white shirt on the right near the shrine, a woman in a green sari on the far left, and a few other figures in saris and dhotis in the middle distance.
