Outdoor temple scene under a large banyan-type tree. Two priests in orange and saffron robes stand on a raised wooden platform draped with an orange cloth, attending a large black stone deity murti with multiple arms and a trident-like emblem behind it, under a golden arched frame. Several robed monks in orange and saffron stand in a line at left, holding tridents. In the foreground a woman with long dark hair, seen from behind, faces a table draped in pink and green cloth set with brass bowls, silver containers and covered vessels. Flower garlands and marigold petals lie around the base of the murti. A metal kalasha stands on a stand near the platform.
