Outdoor shrine under large banyan-type trees beside a black stone statue of a deity in a silver-framed niche, draped in red cloth with red and white beaded necklaces and garlands of yellow and purple flowers. In the foreground a bald man in a white kurta with a flower garland and sandalwood markings extends his hand toward a brass plate of red offerings, while a saffron-robed monk with bare shoulders, white forehead markings and a bracelet bows beside him. A stone plinth bears a dark plaque, and a red-smeared stone lingam sits at the base with additional small stone platforms around the shrine.
