A black stone Nandi bull statue is being bathed with a golden pot. A shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti and white ash markings on arms and chest pours liquid from the pot onto the Nandi's head while holding it with both hands. The statue wears a garland of yellow and pink flowers. A bare-chested young assistant in a red dhoti and rudraksha mala stands to the right holding a golden vessel. Red and saffron flags flutter in the background beside a brick wall and metal railing, with a tree behind.
