Outdoors under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots, a standing figure in orange robes with hands folded in anjali mudra faces a golden deity murti draped in garlands of yellow and purple flowers. The murti stands on a red pedestal with a kalasha-like red base and a plate of white offerings and flowers. A dark stone with a sign plaque sits nearby, and a few people are visible in the background among the trees. The figure wears orange clothing and a orange-and-red beaded necklace. Sunlight dapples the ground.
