A dark stone Nandi bull statue is being bathed with a yellow liquid poured from a golden pot held by a person in an orange-trimmed garment at the right edge of the frame. The liquid splashes over the bull's head, snout and carved ornaments. The blurred background shows a red-toned temple setting with small figures and other shrine forms. No physical people are clearly visible beyond the pouring arm and a partial figure.2016-10-31 +1 copiesA dark stone Nandi bull statue is being bathed with a golden-yellow liquid poured from a gold kalasha held by a pair of hands in the upper right.

The hands wear a yellow-gold wristband and the arm of a person in orange-saffron cloth is visible at the right edge. The blurred background shows reddish-orange stone and small shrine structures.2016-10-31October 31 20162016-10-31October 17 20162016-10-17 +2 copiesDecember 28 20162016-12-28October 31 20162016-10-31December 16 20162016-12-16 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20172017-01-02Close photo of a ritual abhishekam being performed on a large black stone Nandi bull statue, the sacred bull of Shiva.
