A paved courtyard around a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots and a trunk wrapped with a red thread. The square flagstones are marked with white chalk lines and a yellow circle outlines a layout for a temple plan, with a small bowl and a brass pot placed on the ground near the trunk. A blue sign reads a short line of text near the tree base. One person in a red-brown robe stands in the background, partly hidden by foliage. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the scene shows the layout marking for the Nithyanandeshwara temple construction beside the Kalpataru banyan tree.
