A large old banyan tree with thick, tangled aerial roots and a massive trunk stands in an open sandy yard. At its base is a low dark cave opening framed by the roots, with a small red floral offering placed inside near a lit lamp. A white curved stone wall surrounds the base, and a blue sign reads DO NOT ENTER THE CAVE in front of a stone bench. No people are visible.
