Two priests in saffron-orange dhotis, one with long hair and a red-and-white garland, stand near the pillar, one pouring or holding a rope-like offering. A black stone Nandi bull with yellow marigold garlands and a rudraksha-style bead necklace fills the right foreground. A few devotees stand at left, one man with hands folded in namaste. The scene appears to be a temple-style ceremony with garlanded sacred objects and offerings.2016-09-26Outdoor photo at a temple-like courtyard with palm trees.
