A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders, seated beside a grey stone Nandi bull statue with a carved ornamental collar. Behind him is a wooden scaffold of bamboo poles and ropes, with palm trees, orange and white cloth hanging on a line, and a stone base under construction. The orange cloth and long hair suggest a person appearance, with the seated person's role as a devotee or sannyasi beside the sacred bull. Another partly visible person stands at the right edge.
