A large brass temple bell hangs on a chain in the foreground, under a wide banyan tree with aerial roots and dense green leaves. Beneath the tree stands a dark stone deity murti of a multi-armed figure draped in an orange cloth with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, set within a white carved arch. The murti sits on a pile of orange-red stones and a black-and-white dotted circular base. A small printed plaque in the central stand, along with a sign reading 'SILENCE PLEASE' on a nearby post, mark the spot. A person in white clothing is partly visible at the right edge beside the tree trunk. Brick pillars and bare red-earth ground surround the shrine.
