A dark stone Nandi bull statue sits on a raised marble-edged platform, its head and back smeared with white paste and small clumps of cream-coloured offering scattered on the stone and in the water channel. Shallow water and oily residue surround its base. Behind it on a draped grey cloth stand copper kalashas and a large brass vessel, and a lit brass oil lamp burns to the right on a wooden floor with a patterned red rug. The setting suggests a Nandi abhishekam in a temple-style room. No people are visible.
