A black stone deity murti seated in a white arched shrine niche with an orange-and-white backdrop, outdoors among trees.

A raised mound of red kumkum-coated stones surrounds the shrine, with a small black plaque in front of it. No people are visible; the setting suggests a paduka-puja temple site.
