Before a silver-framed shrine arch with a red curtain, a black deity murti decorated with garlands and a headdress sits on a mound of red flowers, with a small offering stone and a kalasha-like base in front. Behind him, other saffron-clad devotees stand among tall wooden poles and a banyan tree, one with hands folded in prayer.
