A photograph of an outdoor shrine beneath a large tree. A dark stone murti of a seated sage in orange cloth stands within an ornate silver arch, adorned with a silver chest pendant and garlands of red, yellow, white and green flowers. In front, a smaller orange-draped figure or linga-form is garlanded with white and red flowers and a silver necklace. A raised circular platform of red-painted stones with a black-and-white border surrounds the shrine. Brass vessels and a small metal lamp sit at the edges, and blue cloth lies on the ground. No living people are visible.

A dark stone statue of a seated saint-like figure in an orange and maroon robe, wrapped in an orange-and-red turban, with a red tilak on the forehead. The murti holds a small vessel or ritual object in one raised hand and has garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold, purple and red flowers draped over the shoulders and body. Loose yellow flowers lie on the black pedestal. Behind it stands an ornate silver arch with embossed floral and animal relief panels, set in a shaded garden with trees. This is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
