Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots, a black stone statue of a deity seated on an animal mount is decorated with a marigold garland, a gold-coloured headdress and a long strand of white beads. Several people in saffron and orange robes stand around a metal railing; one woman in an orange sari with a flower garland and forehead marks stands with her hands folded, and a shaven-headed man in orange wears a rudraksha mala. A small black shrine piece with yellow flowers sits in the foreground beside pink-draped offerings.
