A saffron-robed figure sits near an orange-draped deity murti, with a brass oil lamp on a stand in front. A man in white kurta and white dhoti with a gold border walks barefoot across sand past a low concrete step, while people in white clothes sit in rows, some wearing mala necklaces, with a small child near the front. Building blocks and wooden planks lie in the foreground, and a half-built brick wall stands behind the shrine.
