A weathered grey stone carving of a serpent-like naga with scale patterns forms a platform at an outdoor site. Incense sticks with red tips stand in a small stone bowl and a white stone cup on its top surface, with a rock beside them. No people are visible; the carved stone and offerings suggest a sacred ancient temple site, with rough stone blocks and foliage around it.
