A dark stone Nandi bull statue sits in a temple shrine, decorated with a red flower garland on its head and a carved necklace. A person's hand, wearing a black wrist band, holds a brass oil lamp with a tall flame beneath the bull's face as part of an aarti offering. Behind it are red and yellow walls, a red-draped window blind, and a small tray with flower offerings and brass items. The scene depicts Nandi abhishekam and Shiva worship at a KAILASA Houston temple.

A photograph of a polished black stone Nandi statue, the bull seated on a dark base set on a green cloth with a brown border, being worshipped. A hand holding a brass vessel pours liquid over the statue, and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame rests at its neck. Pink flower petals lie on the base and at the statue's forehead. Only a partial hand and arm are visible, so the person is not counted in full.
