Outdoor temple scene under a large spreading tree. A shrine with a white arched frame holds a black deity murti draped in red and garlanded with orange and white flowers, set on a mound of red offerings. A sign reads SILENCE PL. In the foreground a bare-footed man in a red garment rings a handbell while standing before a polished black stone floor. Beside him a man in an orange robe with a flower garland holds a tray of offerings. Several people in orange, saffron and white clothes stand behind them, and at right two men in white dhotis and shawls stand with hands folded in prayer. The bare-footed man in red has long dark hair and no crown, shawl or saffron-and-gold ceremonial dress, so no a person candidate is established.
