Outdoor photograph in dappled sunlight beneath a large tree. A figure with very long dark hair falling to the waist, wearing a maroon-red garment and a long garland of white jasmine and red-orange flowers around the neck, stands with hands joined in front of a deity murti. The murti is a dark-faced standing figure with a tall golden crown, white tilak, a green backdrop, gold and jewelled ornaments and a flower garland, set in an ornate blue-and-gold arched shrine frame. A brass standing lamp stands on the stone-slab floor, and a dark pot holds a small plant before the shrine. In the background a man in white dhoti and shirt photographs the scene with a camera.
