A large black stone Nandi bull statue is the main subject, being bathed or anointed with a golden liquid that splashes and sprays across its head, neck and chest. Behind it, a bearded man with a shaved head wearing a light garment stands partly visible, and a red cloth hangs on a pole nearby. A white equipment box, trees, a flagpole and a loudspeaker sit in the background under a pale sky.
