A small copper-toned statue of Nandi, the seated bull, rests in a leaf-rimmed brass bowl filled with liquid during abhishekam. Red carnation flowers are scattered in the bowl and one red flower is being placed on the statue's head by a hand entering from the upper right. The bowl sits on a cream towel on a dark stone platform, with a golden shrine and maroon velvet drapes behind. A person in red clothing is partly visible at the right edge. The image shows a deity murti being offered flowers and water.
