Outdoor scene beneath a large spreading banyan tree whose low, thick branches arch over a stone-paved path. Several people in saffron and rust-red robes stand and walk along the path; one man in the foreground wears a red-brown dhoti and shawl with a white tilak on his forehead and holds nothing visible. Behind him a woman in an orange sari holds an open book, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands among the group, while others in orange and red stand nearby. A red-painted stone border frames a raised bed of earth at left, and a small red structure and fence appear in the background.
