Outdoor photo of a Nandi bull statue carved in black stone, seated on a white tiered pedestal beside a copper-coloured kalasha-style column, with palm trees behind. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl stands barefoot, pouring or offering from a small vessel over the Nandi, while a white-clad attendant wearing a yellow shawl and an assistant in white dhoti stand nearby beside brass pots and vessels on a wooden stand. Another man in white shirt and dhoti watches at right. The ground is paved with scattered flower petals. The orange-robed figure's face is not visible enough for an identification claim, so no candidate is asserted.

In the foreground a large black stone Nandi bull sits on a white tiered plinth beside a copper-clad pillar, with a small red flower offering on its head. A bare-chested-shouldered man in an orange-saffron dhoti and matching shawl with red borders stands barefoot on the plinth with his back to the camera. Behind him, men in white dhotis and shirts attend a brass vessel and a small table with offerings of fruit and food, and brass pots sit nearby. Petals are scattered on the ground. The orange-clad man shows no distinctive ceremonial cues beyond saffron clothing, so he is described only by role and the setting is a Nandi-worship offering.2008-03-05 +1 copiesMarch 05 20082008-03-05 +1 copiesMarch 05 20082008-03-05 +1 copiesOutdoor temple scene at dusk beside a white stepped plinth.
