A large blue-skinned statue of Lord Shiva stands on a raised base in an open temple courtyard, holding a golden trident and wrapped in a white and yellow cloth with a dark animal-skin wrap. Behind him a tree with green leaves rises above, and a golden seated bull sculpture, Nandi, sits at the base within an orange wire mesh enclosure decorated with red and yellow cloth and marigold garlands. White temple structures with red trim and a golden lion statue appear in the background under a cloudy sky. No people are visible in the scene.
