A black stone Nandi bull statue, seated and carved with ornate patterns on its saddle cloth and a beaded collar, is being bathed with liquid poured from a metal vessel held by a partially visible man at upper right. The man wears white ritual clothing and a rudraksha mala, and his face is cut off by the frame. Behind the statue, a bare room has yellow walls, a red side table, two grey chairs, and a red fire extinguisher on the wall, consistent with a Nandi abhishekam ritual offered to Shiva.
