Outdoor photo at a large banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots, wrapped at its base by long garlands of yellow, red and green flowers. Three women in white garments stand at the tree: the one on the left wears a yellow shawl and touches the trunk with one hand, the middle woman in a white sari with gold border bends forward with her hand on the bark, and a woman on the right wears a turquoise shawl over white clothes and touches the trunk with her palm. Lush green foliage and a small structure are behind them.
