The bull wears a garland of brass bells, a flower tucked behind one horn, a decorated neck collar, and an orange cloth draped over its back. In front, a brass plate holds two steel bowls, one with yellow dal and one with rice, a copper cup, a red apple and a lit oil lamp. Behind are rows of small orange-clad figurines on a maroon-draped shelf and a white cabinet.
