Outdoor photo beneath large banyan trees with hanging aerial roots at a temple-like grove. A person in saffron-orange and red robes with a red-and-gold shawl stands at left on a concrete path, hands joined at the chest, gazing upward toward a large black stone deity murti at right. The murti wears a yellow cloth, red flower garland and gold necklaces, and sits on a dark stone plinth ringed with red-painted stones and scattered flowers. A small brass oil lamp sits before it. Red earth and a low stone bench complete the setting. The person's appearance is not clearly established as a person, so the a person field is unsure.
