A large old banyan tree with many thick aerial roots and spreading branches forms a shaded grove. At the base of the trunk, a small raised stone platform holds a figure in white ritual cloth with an orange-trimmed shawl and a garland of flowers hanging nearby; the figure appears to be a devotee or priest in white, with the identity of any person uncertain. A dark polished stone floor lies in the foreground, and sunlight filters through the leaves.
