Close-up photo of a glossy black stone Nandi bull statue with a chain-link collar, its head raised toward a pale sky. A person's arm in orange-saffron cloth pours water from a golden kalasha over the statue's head, with water streaming down. A palm frond sits at the right edge. The pouring suggests abhishekam to Nandi. The visible person is only a partial arm and garment, so no clear identity cues appear for any a person candidate.
