A person in white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stands on a wooden stool, pouring liquid from a brass pot onto a large black stone Nandi bull statue seated on a white pedestal. A grey standing stone figure stands to the left, a copper temple structure with carved panels and flower garlands is at right, and a coconut palm is behind. The scene appears to be an abhishekam ritual.

January 27 20102010-01-27A photograph at an outdoor temple shows a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow shawl pouring a liquid from a metal bowl over a large black stone Nandi bull statue seated on a white marble pedestal. Liquid streams down the bull and across the pedestal, leaving orange-tinted marks. A grey stone standing deity statue holding a trident-like staff stands to the left, and a copper-coloured ornate shrine structure rises at the upper right. A palm tree and foliage fill the background, and a small flower garland lies on the pedestal. The scene suggests an abhishekam offering to Nandi.2010-01-24 +1 copiesJanuary 27 20102010-01-27 +1 copiesA photograph of an outdoor abhishekam at a temple shrine.
