Night-time ritual on stone steps beside a large dark stone Nandi bull statue draped with a marigold garland. A bare-chested man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha beads and a red-and-white armband, holds a flaming oil lamp toward the Nandi. Seated devotees on the steps in white and colourful clothes hold their hands in prayer and some hold lamps; red flags and brass kalasha vessels are visible. The scene suggests an evening aarti at a temple riverside.
