A large black stone Nandi bull statue in the left foreground faces across an open concrete plaza toward a black Shivalingam on a red-and-white striped square plinth. Tiered red stadium-style seating rises behind them, with red and saffron flags on poles along the edges. A red-brick building with a metal-framed roof stands in the background under a pale sky. No people are clearly visible; a few small distant figures appear near the seating and plaza edges.
