Outdoor photo beneath a large spreading banyan tree with aerial roots. Seated devotees in white clothes, several women in red and orange saris, sit on a mat in front of the tree. In the foreground a girl in a white top and a small boy in a yellow-and-white striped shirt stand, and a woman in a cream sari bends over near a rocky stone base. On the right, a dark stone deity murti stands in a red-and-white arched shrine, draped in an orange shawl, with garlands at its base. The shrine stands on a dark rock-like pedestal beside a kalasha-like brass pot and offerings. No identifiable a person figure is visible; the orange-draped figure is a statue in a shrine.
