A dark stone Nandi bull sculpture sits on a raised grey platform, draped in a long garland of yellow, white, and purple flowers. Around its base are trays of marigolds, pink and purple blossoms, red flowers, mounds of coloured powders in yellow, orange, and red, and white offerings on draped cloths in orange, teal, and gold. Seated devotees in white, pink, and green saris and kurtas line the steps behind, several wearing red or maroon shawls. At the right edge, a figure in white clothing with an ID badge and a saffron-robed person stand near the platform. A large portion of the scene shows audience members watching a ritual.
