A large black stone Nandi bull statue, garlanded with red, white, yellow and purple flower strands and a flower-decorated cloth, sits on a grey pedestal on terraced red steps. Several seated devotees in white and pastel clothing press palms together in prayer, including a man in a white shirt, a man in a pink shirt, a woman in a white sari, and a woman holding a child. Terracotta pots with small green plants line the steps. Behind a metal railing, people in orange robes stand near brass lamps, and a man in white holds a wind instrument. The scene is bright, with rich colours of flowers and clay pots.
