Outdoor photograph on a dirt ground lined with coconut palms under a clear sky. A black stone Nandi bull statue, garlanded with yellow marigolds and red flowers, dominates the right foreground. Behind it, a bearded man in white kneels and bows near the statue's base. A procession moves across the ground: a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a garland of flowers stands at centre beneath a white parasol with red trim, flanked by men and women in white clothing. A young man in a brown shirt with a red sash holds a camera, and a drummer with a drum is visible. A yellow JCB excavator stands at left and a striped-shirted man carries a bag in the foreground.
