A man in white ritual clothing with a white tripundra mark on his forehead pours water from a golden pot over a large black stone Nandi bull statue. The bull is seated on a white pedestal and decorated with a carved saddle cloth and a beaded collar. Behind them stand a gold-painted canopied structure, coconut palms, and several brass pots on a wooden table. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual to the Nandi statue.
