A large, ancient banyan tree with sprawling horizontal limbs and many aerial prop roots dropping to the ground forms the main subject, its dense green canopy spreading across the frame. Beneath it, a circular raised stone platform surrounds the trunk base. At left, a green cloth-draped object and a red-and-white offering stand near a small shrine area. Two people in white clothing stand near the tree on the left, one in white with a red-trimmed garment. Sandy ground and white posts surround the sacred tree enclosure.
