A photograph at an outdoor shrine beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots. In the foreground a barefoot man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron cloth wrap, walks past a red-painted mound topped by a dark stone deity murti with a snake coiled around its base. A brass pot and offering dish sit on a wooden tray near the mound. Behind the shrine, another figure in orange robes stands beside the murti. A water tank lies to the left. The foreground man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, which fits a person candidate, though his appearance is uncertain.
