A photograph of a large ancient banyan tree with a dense canopy of spreading branches and many hanging aerial roots that reach down to the ground around a raised platform. Several small brass or gold kalasha-like pots sit at the base of the trunk on a white-edged stone ledge over reddish earth. A thin rope or wire is strung between the trunks. No people are visible. The setting appears to be a sacred tree shrine in an outdoor compound.
