Night photograph at an outdoor shrine beneath dark tree branches. A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, seen from behind, stands on a pale paved platform facing a decorated deity murti set in a gilded arched niche with a colourful fringed canopy above. The murti wears an orange garment, a silver crown and a garland of yellow and green flowers. At its base is a stone-encircled Shiva linga draped with yellow marigold garlands. Another figure in white stands at the left edge in the background.
