A photograph of a large, leafy banyan-type tree with thick aerial roots dominating the frame against a pale sky. Beneath it, a pink-walled compound has a concrete platform where a man in white lies prostrate with head near the trunk, while other men in white dhotis and shirts stand and bend nearby on the grass. A white bus with lettering sits at the right edge. A date stamp reads 20-10-2006 along the left side. The scene suggests a devotional visit at a temple precinct.
