A photograph of an outdoor shrine under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. At the centre stands a black stone deity murti draped in red cloth, garlanded with yellow, orange and purple flower garlands and set within a silver arch. The murti sits on a platform covered with a heap of red flower petals and a black-and-white dotted border. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at the shrine performing worship, another man in white stands to the left, and a third person in white is at the right edge. Seated devotees in front, including women in saffron, blue and multicoloured saris and a man in a striped shirt, face the shrine with hands folded. No one in the scene is identified as a person.

Outdoor photo beneath a large spreading banyan tree at an ashram grounds. Around a white arched shrine with a tall orange-and-red garlanded deity murti, devotees in white and cream clothes perform worship. A woman in a cream sari with a red border offers at the base, while a man in white stands nearby and another in a red shirt bends toward the shrine. Piles of red flowers rest on a circular platform. Seated on black stone slabs in the foreground, a woman in a blue sari and a woman in yellow-orange sit facing the shrine, and a girl in white with a braid sits at left. Brick buildings and greenery appear in the background.

Outdoor shrine scene under shady trees. A black stone deity murti stands in an arched white niche draped with orange cloth, garlanded with red and yellow flowers and rudraksha-like beads. In front, a red-painted mound of stones sits in a tiled border. A man in an orange-red dhoti with a yellow sash stands with palms pressed together, facing the shrine. Nearby, a red cushioned throne-style chair sits on a patterned rug. Four people in orange-red robes stand in the background, and a woman in orange and a veiled figure kneel at the right edge. The setting is a temple-like puja or darshan.

In the centre, an orange and white deity murti stands beneath a white arched shrine frame, decorated with an orange garland, on a dark pedestal. Several seated devotees in white shirts and dhotis sit on a stone platform facing the shrine, their backs to the camera. Women in saris and a man in white shirt walk on the dirt path at right, and a man in a brown shirt sits at left-centre. The overall setting suggests darshan under the tree.
