A large, dense banyan-type tree with a thick, buttressed trunk and spreading green canopy dominates the frame against a pale blue sky. Overhead power lines cross the branches. At the base, a few people stand near the trunk, and roadside stalls with corrugated roofs line the right side. Parked white buses and vans sit to the left, with rubble and dry scrub in the foreground.
