A large, sprawling banyan tree dominates the scene, its many thick aerial roots hanging from wide branches over an open dusty yard. At the lower right, a small shrine holds a dark stone deity murti draped in a green cloth with a yellow band, beside a tall flagpole and a heap of red-painted stones ringed by a black border. A person in purple clothing stands near the shrine, and a figure in black clothing stands near the tree trunk at left. The setting appears to be a temple grounds with a raised concrete platform around the trunk.
