A photograph of an outdoor shrine beneath a large spreading banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A deity murti stands in a golden arched niche on a stone base, dressed in a red and white sari-like cloth, adorned with a silver-and-gold necklace and a crown, with a red-and-white garland draped over it. Green foliage and tree trunks frame the scene, with a dirt path and rough ground below. No people are visible.

Outdoor temple courtyard beneath a large banyan tree with aerial roots and spreading branches, paved with stone slabs and circular red-painted planters. On the left a man in a dark reddish-brown cloth with a long swept-back hair and a white and yellow flower garland stands facing right toward a tall ornate deity murti on the right. The murti has a golden crown, gold ornaments, a green garland, a red-and-gold cloth draped over it, and a tall garland of white, yellow and red flowers. A small orange-clad figure stands at the far left edge. Wet pavement suggests recent rain.
