Outdoor view of a tiered red-stepped temple tank with a green water pool in the foreground. A large black stone Nandi bull sits on a white pedestal at the centre of a terraced staircase lined with potted plants.

Another person in a white top stands beside the Nandi statue on the steps, and a figure in red and white stands at right among rows of black shivalinga-style stones set into the terraces. White metal railings line the stairs.
