A large crowd of devotees dressed mostly in white stands and walks beneath a massive ancient banyan tree with sprawling aerial roots and thick branches. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, while women wear white saris and white shawls; a few women wear red blouses and one wears a patterned head wrap. Some people carry bags and in the foreground a man in a grey shirt and a man in a checked shirt face away from the camera. At the right edge, a bright orange-red shrine or structure stands with a small deity figure visible beside it. The scene is an outdoor gathering in a tree-shaded temple-like grove.
