A night-time outdoor photograph of a black stone Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow and red flower strings and draped with a white cloth. A bald figure in white ritual dhoti with a red-bordered shawl stands at the right with folded hands before a brass plate holding yellow offerings. Bamboo stalks and a street lamp stand behind. A second, smaller figure in light clothing is partly visible in the background. Petals scattered on the ground suggest a worship offering.

A person in white clothes bends over a large black stone Nandi bull statue draped with a white and red flower garland, with a brass plate of offerings in front. Beside it stands a black stone shivalinga-style base with a yellow flower garland and a brass bell and small brass vessel. Behind them a line of people in white dhotis and shirts stand with hands joined in prayer, and several women in white and orange or yellow saris look on.
