A photograph of a rough gravel and concrete path being laid outdoors in front of a small grey stone shrine with pillars and an open canopy. Several people walk and stand near the path: a woman in a green and blue sari with a head covering, a man in a light shirt and grey trousers, and a figure in orange garments further back near a tree. Orange and red festival decorations hang from the tent area at left, and a white-painted low wall edges the path at right. Scattered plants and a brick pile sit beside the site.
