Outdoor photo at dusk of a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl pouring liquid from a golden vessel over a large black Nandi bull statue on a white plinth. Beside him, a woman in white garments with a beaded necklace and a yellow cloth holds a brass kalasha-style pot, with more brass pots set on the ground. Behind them are small signboards, a golden temple arch and lamp-lit shrine, and trees against a pinkish evening sky. A tall metal pole stands at the right edge with a yellow-orange cord tied to it. The man's appearance is not clearly identifiable from this photo, so a person is unsure.
