Outdoor temple courtyard shaded by trees with a banyan trunk rising from a round white base. On the left, a black stone deity murti with a gold crown-like band and orange draped cloth stands in a niche with garlands; in front sits a red-tinted rock formation with a small brass bell and a black serpent form curling across the base. On the right, a man with a bare upper body and a long orange-and-gold dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, a vertical tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrists, on a red mat. Hanging white cords frame the right edge.

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.2013-05-13April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA standing man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, with a gold necklace and armlets, performs namaskar with palms pressed together before a dark stone deity murti in a white arched niche with an orange curtain.
