Outdoor scene beside a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches, standing in a sandy courtyard edged by low white curved walls. In the foreground, three barefoot men in orange-saffron robes walk in a line; the front one carries a folded cloth, and the one at right has long dark hair and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, a bare-chested older man in a white dhoti wears a beaded necklace, and a group of men in white and light shirts, plus a small child in yellow, stand among the tree roots.
