Behind is an orange-painted stepped platform holding a black Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow and orange marigold flower garlands. A tall copper-banded pillar rises from the platform, framed by palm trees and greenery. Small brass oil lamp sits near the circle. Two black stone sculptures and a black Shiva lingam stand in the background, with red signs bearing printed text.
