A large ancient banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots and thick buttressed trunks dominates the frame, growing from a raised circular platform of white-painted concrete with stepped edges. At the base of the trunk is a dark cave-like opening with a small shrine inside, marked by a red and white flower garland draped over the trunk and a small blue sign reading DO NOT ENTER THE CAVE. Sandy soil surrounds the platform, and green trees and a low white wall appear in the background. No people are visible.
