Outdoor shrine scene under trees. On the left stands a black stone deity murti of a multi-armed form with a golden crown, garlands and an orange cloth, set in a white arched niche with gold curtains behind it. A red-stained rock mound and a black snake-like base with yellow dots sit before it, with a small stone bench and a brass bell. On the right, a bare-chested man with a tilak on his forehead, rudraksha and gold beaded necklaces, and an orange-and-gold dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling toward the shrine. A large banyan-like tree trunk stands in the centre on a round concrete base, and a red mat lies on the paved path.

He wears a rust-orange dhoti with yellow borders over a bare chest, and a beaded mala hangs around his neck. Beside him a shrine holds a black stone deity murti dressed in yellow cloth with a yellow head covering and red garlands, set in an arched white frame with a green curtain. In front of the shrine is a mound of red offerings, with a small stone seat and a small rug on the ground. The man is a devotee at the shrine, and the page indicates a person's presence but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2013-05-13Outdoor photo of a man in saffron-orange dhoti and matching shoulder cloth with an orange-gold sash, bare-chested, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, standing with palms pressed together in namaste before a black stone deity murti. The murti is a multi-armed female form draped in orange cloth with a green backdrop and white arched frame. In front stands a large pile of red kumkum-coloured offerings on a raised black-and-gold dotted platform, with a small brass lamp and a low wooden stool nearby. Trees and dry leaves surround the shrine, and a red patterned mat lies on the paved floor.2013-03-13April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesApril 22 20132013-04-22A devotee in an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap stands at left under trees, palms pressed together in prayer, facing a black stone deity murti at right. The murti has multiple arms, wears a red cloth, red beaded necklaces and a red headpiece, and sits on a dark pedestal beside an ornate silver arch and orange draped backdrop. Red kumkum-covered stones and a small brass bell sit at its base, with a nameplate on the stand. The setting is an outdoor temple area with bare red earth, a red wall and trees. The devotee's face is not clear enough to determine any identity, so the person is described by role only.2013-01-15 +1 copies
