Devotees gather under a large banyan tree before a golden-framed shrine housing a black-faced deity murti dressed in green and red silk, gold armour-like ornaments, a tall gold crown and a heavy floral and jewelled garland. A woman in white sari kneels and reaches toward the murti's base while others stand with folded hands in prayer. A man with long hair in red clothing and a woman in maroon sari stand nearby. Brass oil lamps sit on the paved stone floor, and a white-clad figure stands at a distance by a fence.
