The figure wears an orange turban and a rudraksha-style necklace, and holds a staff. Red-painted stones form a base beneath the shrine, with a brass pot, plates of flowers and white offerings placed before it. Around it, devotees in white dhotis and shirts and women in white and cream saris stand with hands raised in prayer, some touching the stone rail. Wooden posts and a rope barrier line the foreground. This appears to be a murti shrine under a banyan-type tree rather than a living person in the scene.2011-07-15
