A large black stone Nandi bull statue sits on a raised pedestal, adorned with a garland of white and red flowers and a chain, while water is poured over it. Around the statue, on tiered red steps, people sit in rows at ceremonial abhishekam. A bare-chested man in a blue dhoti pours water over the bull. Nearby, a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a golden vessel, and others hold brass pots and gold kalasha-style vessels. A woman in a black top and patterned skirt sits at left, and a white flag with a red flag stands at right behind metal railings. Several devotees wear rudraksha malas.

A large black stone Nandi bull statue, garlanded with white and red flowers, is being bathed with yellow liquid poured from a brass vessel held by a man in white dhoti. Around it, rows of devotees sit on red-and-black tiered steps beside many brass kalasha pots and oil lamps, some holding brass vessels and cone-shaped items. A woman in a black top and patterned pink trousers sits at left, and a man with a shaved head in white dhoti and a rudraksha-style necklace is at upper left. Red flags and a white banner hang at right behind a metal fence. This appears to be an abhishekam offering to the Nandi statue.2016-12-14November 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesA large dark stone Nandi bull statue, draped with a garland of red and white flowers, receives a pouring of water from a brass pot held by a man in a dark blue dhoti at the lower left.
