Outdoor photograph beneath a leafy banyan tree at a shrine. A large black stone murti with multiple arms and an orange wrap with a red headband stands within a white ornate arch, seated on a red-painted rock pile with a black-and-white dotted base. A woman in a white sari with hands folded stands at left. A man in a pale shirt and white dhoti kneels barefoot on a dark stone platform in front of the murti. A standing man in an orange kurta faces the shrine at right, and an elderly person in orange robes stands at far left, with more people in white at the right edge. The scene suggests pada puja and darshan at the shrine.
