Outdoor photograph of a shaded temple shrine beneath a large spreading tree with hanging aerial roots. A black stone deity murti with multiple arms, wearing an orange cloth and layered garlands of marigold and red flowers, stands inside a carved silver-toned arch. The murti sits on a black pedestal, and a mound of red-orange painted stones or powder surrounds its base within a black-and-white rimmed platform. Two devotees stand in front: a woman in a white blouse and grey-striped sari on the left, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti on the right, both facing the shrine. A small plaque is set at the base. Cylindrical grey posts flank the scene and the ground is bare earth.
