A photograph of an outdoor shrine in a grove of trees. A black stone deity murti, seated and wearing a purple cloth, a purple crown and a red garland, is framed by a white arched niche with a blue backdrop. Marigold garlands in red, yellow and orange hang on its sides, and a heap of red powder or kumkum surrounds its base with a small stone table in front. A standing person with long dark hair, bare-backed and wearing an orange-red dhoti and shawl, faces the shrine on a pink-patterned mat, with bare feet on a stone slab.
