A young bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands at a stone steps area, pouring a golden-yellow liquid from a brass pot onto a dark green stone Nandi bull statue. He wears a rudraksha mala, a pendant necklace and white sacred marks on his forehead, and his face shows concentration. Yellow liquid splashes around the bull's head. Behind him, rows of seated devotees in orange and saffron clothing fill tiered red stands, with a few colourful cloths and small lamps visible. The scene suggests an abhishekam offering to the Nandi murti.
