Close outdoor photo of a large dark stone Nandi bull statue, head raised, with a garland of yellow marigolds draped over its head and a pink and yellow flower garland around its neck, a rope-and-bead collar on its neck. Behind it a shirtless man in a white dhoti stands partly visible, his hand near the statue's head, apparently adorning it. At left, a few seated people in white and bare-chested devotees sit beside a metal barrier, with red flags on tall poles and green leafy trees behind. The sky is white and overcast.
