A shirtless young male priest with a white tilak on his forehead and an orange dhoti pours yellow liquid from a brass vessel over a dark stone Nandi bull statue. Yellow liquid splashes over the bull's head and neck. Rudraksha beads are visible on his wrist. Red and orange flags and tall poles stand in the background, with a crowd and temple structures softly visible behind a railing. This appears to be an abhishekam offering to the Nandi statue.
