Outdoor temple courtyard beneath a large old banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A large orange-coloured mound. Beside it stands a dark stone statue draped in orange cloth, with an orange garland, next to a tall white pillar. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand or walk around the shrine, and an older woman in a white sari with orange border stands at left near a stone platform, possibly performing worship. A man in grey trousers and white shirt with a pendant walks in the foreground. The scene appears to be a shrine worship area; no clearly identifiable in-person candidate for the a person is visible.
