Outdoor scene beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A black stone statue of a seated deity, draped in orange cloth and heavily garlanded with yellow, purple and white flower strands, occupies the right foreground beside a red-cloth shrine area. A white-clad devotee with folded hands stands at lower left, and another person in white bends toward the statue at the centre-right. A camera on a tripod films near a wooden railing, and several seated people in the background wear white and red. The setting is a sandy ground with a low white concrete platform.
