Outdoors at a white-painted shrine, a black stone Nandi bull statue wearing red and white flower garlands sits on a tiered platform, with a black shivalinga visible behind it. In the foreground, a man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat with hands folded in meditation, a small brass kalasha pot placed before him on a ring of gravel. Beside him, a younger man in white clothes and a yellow shawl sits with hands resting on his knees. Another seated figure in white appears at the far right edge, and a fourth partially visible person is near the top right. Red petals are scattered on the white platform, and palm trees and greenery surround the courtyard.
