A photograph in a covered workshop shows a large gilded Nandi bull statue with ornate golden harness and bells standing on a wooden base against a red brick wall. A worker in a grey paint-splattered shirt and orange lungi leans over the base, brushing gold paint onto the wooden plinth. Behind him, a man in a red t-shirt stands beside more gilded temple fittings and a shelf of golden ritual items. Corrugated metal roofing and yellow steel beams frame the hall.

The Nandi has a golden head with a rope-like bridle and ornately carved, gilt-covered body and saddle, resting on a wooden crate frame. The man smiles and looks toward the statue; a person in white holds a camera on the far side. The man shows a distinctive saffron wrap and mala, but his appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only as a devotee-attendant beside the Nandi.2013-07-14September 21 20112011-09-21
