Outdoors on a dirt ground under palm trees, a person in a sleeveless orange-saffron robe with a long white-and-orange bead garland stands barefoot on a circular stone-edged platform with an orange cushion and a green mat, long dark hair tied back. Behind and to the right, a black nandi bull statue wearing a marigold garland sits on a terracotta pedestal beside several dark stone deity murtis on red-bordered bases. Above, an ornate hanging curved metal frame and bunting flags hang from a pole. Two people in white stand in the background near a silver SUV, and a large map-style signboard is visible.
