A dark stone Nandi bull statue, garlanded with white jasmine and orange and blue flower strands, sits at the left in front of a red and orange flag hanging on a pole. A man in an orange robe with a long swept-back hairstyle and a bead necklace holds a bunch of green mango leaves over the statue, while beside him a man in a white dhoti holds a lit oil lamp. A young man in white kurta with an orange shawl holds a silver kalasha pot. Other men in white dhotis and kurtas stand behind, and a small red and gold parasol and smoke from the lamp appear in the background of trees. The scene suggests a Nandi puja at the flag-hoisting procession.
