A smiling man with long, wavy dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead stands behind a black bull with white-tipped horns, decorated with a yellow marigold garland and a blue-and-gold rope harness. He wears an orange saffron garment with a gold border and a heavy gold beaded necklace. A person's hand in white clothing rests on the bull's neck in the foreground. Blurred figures and a golden curved ceremonial object appear at the left edge against green foliage.
