A standing devotee in orange-saffron dress stands barefoot on a small red-patterned mat beside a shrine, his right hand raised to his forehead in salutation. He wears a long rudraksha-style bead necklace, a sacred ash mark on his forehead, and a draped orange cloth over his shoulder. Beside him a black stone deity murti with four arms wears a red garment, red crown and garland, and stands in a silver arched niche with a green backdrop. The murti sits atop a mound of red powder offerings, with small mats placed on the ground. Large banyan-type trees with aerial roots shade the outdoor temple area.
