A photo of a Nandi bull statue being bathed in an abhishekam. A pair of hands, wearing blue and brown beaded bracelets, tilts a golden-yellow vessel so milk pours over the white-and-dark stone Nandi's head and neck, with steam rising from the liquid. A rope-like garland wraps the bull's neck. Beside it sits a dark kalasha-style pot streaked with white liquid. In the background, a red draped cloth hangs against a yellow wall, with a small framed picture and a purple shrine-like image visible. No a person candidate is visible; only hands and a sacred bull statue appear.
