Outdoor photograph beneath a large banyan tree with aerial roots. A bearded man in a white kurta and yellow shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a dark stone deity murti draped in red cloth and white and yellow flower garlands. A woman in a teal sari with a dark shawl stands at left with hands folded, and a younger person in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands beside him. Concrete posts, a low brick wall and a stone plinth with small offerings surround the shrine. Whether the bearded man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the identity is unsure.
