Outdoor photo of a shrine under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A black stone deity murti stands in a white arched niche backed by a turquoise cloth, draped in an orange-red cloth and a red-and-yellow flower garland, with a red-and-orange sculpted heap in front and a dark pedestal. A single person on the right, seen from behind and partly cut off, wears a bare upper body with a green dhoti and gold-bordered shawl, standing barefoot on a tiled path while facing the shrine. The scene is a quiet outdoor devotional spot with brick-red earth and green foliage behind.

September 28 20112011-09-28Outdoors under a large spreading tree, a standing man in an orange saffron robe and orange dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a black stone deity murti set in a silver-framed arched shrine. The murti is draped in red cloth and garlanded with yellow and orange flowers, and a red sindoor-covered stone mound sits in front. Nearby are a snake-like dark stone with dots, a white cloth offering and a small stone platform, with sunlit trees and a glass-topped step in the foreground.
