Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots, a woman in white clothes with a red shawl and a red tilak on her forehead stands on sandy ground, holding a white cloth bundle above her head with both hands, eyes closed. Behind her, another figure in a red shawl also raises an object overhead. To the left, a man in white kurta stands near a low circular stone border around the trunk. The scene suggests a devotional offering at the tree.
