A photograph of a very large, gnarled, ancient tree trunk standing under a corrugated roof supported by blue metal beams. In front of the trunk sits a black stone deity murti seated in meditation pose, with a trident-like spear rising behind it and a small offering of flowers at its head. To the right, a small shrine with a blue and yellow arched frame holds a dark deity murti draped in a red cloth. No people are visible.
