Outdoor photograph of a shaded temple courtyard beneath a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots. A shrine holds a deity murti draped in garlands of yellow and orange marigolds and a red-and-white garland, set under a white arched frame, with a reddish stone mound before it. In the foreground at right, a standing woman in orange robes holds a ritual item toward the shrine, with other people in orange robes behind her. Brass vessels and a small plate of flowers sit on a white platform at left, and a reflective pool lies at lower right.
