Outdoor photo of a man in saffron-orange dhoti and matching shoulder cloth with an orange-gold sash, bare-chested, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, standing with palms pressed together in namaste before a black stone deity murti. The murti is a multi-armed female form draped in orange cloth with a green backdrop and white arched frame. In front stands a large pile of red kumkum-coloured offerings on a raised black-and-gold dotted platform, with a small brass lamp and a low wooden stool nearby. Trees and dry leaves surround the shrine, and a red patterned mat lies on the paved floor.
