A person in white ritual clothing pours water from a brass vessel over a black stone Nandi bull statue seated on a white plinth. The person wears a white shirt and white dhoti with a dark border, a yellow shawl over the shoulder, and a rudraksha mala. Behind the Nandi stands a copper-coloured ornate pillar or pedestal decorated with marigold and orange garlands, with palm fronds in the background. A small brass vessel and lamp sit on the white platform to the right. The scene reads as an abhishekam offering to the Nandi.
