Outdoor shrine under dense green trees at a temple site. A black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal within a white carved arch, draped in a pink cloth with a yellow-and-orange marigold garland and a green cloth backdrop. Before it, a large heap of red kumkum-coated offerings and small clay pots. A single standing person, seen from behind with long dark hair, wears a red and white dhoti-style garment with a red shawl over one shoulder and a bare upper back, facing the shrine across a dark reflective tiled walkway. Hanging aerial roots and a banyan-like tree frame the scene.

Outdoor shrine under trees where a dark stone deity murti is seated within a white carved arch, draped in a pink cloth and wreathed with orange and yellow marigold garlands, with a green backdrop behind it. A large heap of red kumkum-covered stones or offerings surrounds its base on a black-rimmed platform. A man stands at right with palms pressed together in namaskar, bare-chested with a red and orange shawl over his shoulder, white dhoti with gold border and red undergarment, gold armbands and a long-haired appearance. Dry leaves cover the ground and a dark reflective pool sits in the foreground.

Outdoors under a dense canopy of trees and hanging aerial roots, a standing man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with bare shoulders and upper arms stands on a grey tiled platform with hands folded in prayer. He faces a black stone deity murti housed in a white arched shrine with orange drapery, dressed in pink cloth, red and white garlands, a red crown and gold necklace, seated on a pedestal. In front lies a mound of red offerings, with a small lamp and bowls on a stone base nearby, and rangoli-style pink and purple floral patterns on the ground.

In the left background, a shrine arch with silver-toned trim frames a black stone deity murti draped in white cloth with a garland of orange and yellow flowers. Beside it, a red-painted mound and small oil lamps or offering dishes sit on a stone base, with green foliage behind.
