A large, gnarled banyan-type tree with thick grey intertwined trunks and dense green oval leaves fills the frame at night. Its aerial roots reach down to the ground. Beside it stands a low whitewashed platform with a blue trim and a blue-and-white dotted pot-shaped top, lit by a small bulb. At the far left edge, two women in yellow and orange sarees are partly visible behind a red railing. No readable text appears in the scene itself.
