Outdoors under a large banyan tree with aerial roots, a person in orange robes with a white flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste at a shrine area. Marigold garlands are strung along the tree, and a white circular platform sits at its base. To the right, another person in orange robes holds a metal tray of offerings. Behind them a shrine with a red backdrop and an ornate arch holds a figure draped in orange. Dark stone tiles lie on the ground.
