A photograph of the exterior of a small Hindu shrine with a blue signboard reading Sri Panchamukha Hanuman and Maha Ganapathi in Tamil script, decorated with floral motifs and painted pillars. Inside a metal grille stands a dark stone deity murti draped with garlands and a white cloth. Several devotees stand at the grille: a man in dark clothes raising a hand, a woman in an orange saree, and a woman in a lime-green salwar. Outside, a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti holds a small object, a woman in a blue saree stands near the steps, and a man in a white shirt watches. Sandals sit on the paving and a purple woven basket rests on the plinth.
