A photograph of a person in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with long hair in a braid down the back, pouring yellow liquid from a round vessel held in both hands over a large black stone Nandi bull statue. The yellow liquid streams down over the bull's head and neck. Green trees and white metal railings with spectators in orange and dark clothing are visible behind. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; the saffron clothing and braided hair are consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the figure is not clearly identifiable.
