A man in a yellow dhoti-style garment with a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders stands barefoot on a dark tiled platform, hands joined in front of his chest with eyes closed. A rudraksha mala hangs around his neck and his hair is tied up in a bun. Before him is a black stone deity murti dressed in a blue cloth, adorned with yellow and orange marigold garlands, seated in a white arched shrine framed by a magenta backdrop. A heap of red powder offerings lies at the base, and an orange cloth loop hangs from a tree overhead.
