A priest in an orange saffron garment pours water from a gold-coloured vessel over a dark stone Nandi bull statue, which is decorated with a necklace of beads. Water streams down the bull's head and body. A woman in a white sari with a green-bordered shawl stands behind, and a man in white dhoti is partly visible at right. Coconut palms and a copper-coloured ornate pillar stand in the background. This appears to be abhishekam of Nandi at a temple setting.
