A photograph of a copper-coloured Nandi bull head murti decorated for a ritual offering. The head is adorned with an ornate jewelled headpiece set with green and white stones and a red bindi mark on its forehead. It is surrounded by concentric rings of produce: red apples and green limes at the top, tomatoes, okra, potatoes and carrots arranged below, and white flower garlands framing the edges. The arrangement appears to be a fruit and vegetable decoration for a deity murti. No people are visible.
