A man in a saffron-orange wrap with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders stands beside a large gilded bull statue, a Nandi, inside a metal shipping container. 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.
