A large black stone Nandi bull statue sits outdoors, draped in red and yellow flower garlands, with a beaded necklace and bells across its chest and a decorated saddle cloth on its back. Behind it are a red compound wall, palm and green trees. At the left edge, a woman in a pink top with her hand raised to her mouth is partly visible, looking toward the statue. The setting appears to be a temple courtyard with the Nandi, Shiva's mount, being honoured with garlands.
