A large dark stone Nandi bull statue dominates the foreground, draped with a red and gold brocade cloth and garlanded with white flowers and red blossoms, with green leaves tucked at its head. Behind it, a seated figure on a gold ornate throne with a red cushion wears a dark head covering and a red garland, while attendants in white and orange stand nearby. Men in white and orange clothing and a woman in a sari stand at right near a tall palm-leaf decoration. Red and orange rangoli patterns decorate the paved floor, and a red-and-gold umbrella and open-sided pavilion frame the scene under palm trees.
