A black stone deity murti stands in a white carved arched niche before a green cloth backdrop, under a shady tree canopy. The figure wears a red dhoti, a yellow shawl, a red-and-gold crown, and a layered rudraksha-style necklace, holding ceremonial objects in both hands. The murti sits on a circular base with a red-stained mound and a dark serpent-like coil with gold dots encircling it. A small black plaque with a Sanskrit inscription and brass lamps stand at its foot, with pink flower offerings. Dry earth and bare trunks surround the open-air shrine.
