A dark stone Nandi bull statue with a carved harness and bead-and-leaf collar is being drenched by a stream of water poured from above. Behind it, a figure in flowing saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala pours the water over the bull, while green foliage and a red-painted structure appear at the right. The water spray glistens against the dark stone. The figure is partially visible and cropped at the top, so no identification is made from appearance.
