Outdoor temple scene under a large banyan-like tree with hanging aerial roots. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a gold armlet and a beaded necklace, stands at left with palms pressed together in prayer. Beside a red-painted stone base is a large black stone deity murti, seated on a mount, draped in yellow cloth with a red and yellow garland, a yellow head covering and ornate gold adornments. Brass oil lamps and small offerings sit before it, and a small stone bench and a carved stone signboard are nearby. The man's appearance has several saffron and ornate cues, but no sure identification is possible from appearance alone.
