A photograph of a large banyan tree with massive horizontal limbs and many hanging aerial roots forming a shaded canopy over a sandy ground. Circular raised stone platforms surround several trunks, and a few people walk among them on the reddish earth. Visible figures include a woman in a teal top and dark trousers, a person in white with orange-saffron garments nearby, and others in orange and white clothing at the far right. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
