Outdoor shrine set among leafy trees with a white arched frame. A black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal is adorned with marigold and yellow garlands, red flower garlands, a blue cloth and a rudraksha-style necklace, with an orange cloth behind it. Before the shrine, a heap of red-painted stones surrounds a small brass vessel and lamp. Two young men with shaved heads in orange saffron cloths stand at the base: the one on the left faces the shrine with his back to the camera, and the one on the right stands with palms joined in prayer. Petals and a metal bowl lie on the ground. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
