In the background a dark statue with orange and red garlands stands under a white arched frame, with a stone platform and a pile of orange-red cloth offerings in front. Many people in white clothes sit on a black tiled floor in a semicircle; women wear white saris with gold borders and a girl wears a pink and white dress. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands near the centre, and another in white stands at the back. A woman in a pink sari and a man in a white shirt stand near the altar, and several more people are seated in the background.

The murti wears a tall golden crown, a black face with white urdhva pundra markings, and layered jeweled necklaces over a white and gold garment. Around it, devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand close, some with folded hands in prayer, while a man on the left wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. Dry leaves are piled on the ground behind the group. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so the description notes only the devotees and deity.2016-02-27 +1 copiesAugust 02 20122012-08-02July 11 20102010-07-11October 04 20102010-10-04 +1 copiesOutdoor photo under a large spreading tree at a dirt-ground shrine.
