A large, ancient banyan tree dominates the frame, its thick grey trunks and many aerial prop roots hanging down to the ground around a dirt courtyard with curved stone edging. Its spreading canopy of green leaves fills the top of the image. At the right edge, a small shrine with a red-trimmed arch holds a seated deity murti decorated in orange and red garments. Stone steps lead up toward the shrine. No people are visible.
