A small brass pot sits beside him. Behind him stands a red brick pedestal holding a black stone Nandi bull garlanded with yellow and orange flowers. Dark stone deity murtis and statues line the sandy ground under palm trees, and a second woven mat lies on the right. Pink and white floral kolam lines border the platform.
