A man in orange-saffron robes with gold borders stands at left beside a banyan tree, wearing a white forehead marking, a long orange-and-gold garland, gold bracelets and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, his hands held together in front of him. Beside him, a black stone deity murti of a multi-armed form with an orange-and-gold cloth draped behind it sits in a white arched shrine surround, decorated with a red kumkum-covered base and a small brass lamp. Red mats lie on the sandy ground, and tree trunks and green foliage fill the background. The man appears to be a person based on his saffron robes, garland and rudraksha-style necklace, standing in devotion before the shrine.
