Outdoor shrine under a leafy tree. A person in saffron-orange draped clothing with a rudraksha mala stands with hands raised in prayer, facing a black stone deity murti with multiple arms, draped in a red cloth and garlanded with yellow and orange flower garlands. The deity sits in a silver arch niche with a magenta backdrop, atop a mound of red kumkum or vermilion powder on a black base with white dots. Sunlight filters through the branches, and a small oil lamp sits at the base.
