A photograph of an old stone pavilion with carved pillars and a weathered overhead beam, shaded by a large pipal tree with heart-shaped leaves. Inside sits a dark black stone Nandi bull statue, seated on a raised stone plinth. A small oil lamp rests on a ledge of the left pillar, and a bowl sits on the ground. Beyond the pavilion a road runs past, with a cyclist and a signboard showing a temple tower illustration. No people are inside the pavilion, and the scene is an outdoor temple structure with a statue, not a ritual gathering.

A photograph of an old stone shrine with a carved pillared open pavilion sheltering a dark, weathered stone Nandi bull statue, a sacred bull figure facing forward on a low stone pedestal. A small dark plaque sits at the base of the platform, and a barred metal gate and tree foliage surround the stone courtyard under a partly cloudy sky. A lone figure in white clothing walks at the far left edge, partially visible, beside the pillars, while the shrine itself is the main subject.

A black stone statue stands under a white ornamental stone arch with a striped canopy, surrounded by trees. The statue has multiple arms, holding objects including a raised implement, and wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the body with an orange-red head wrap. Garlands of yellow, white and purple flowers hang from its shoulders and waist. The statue rests on a dark square pedestal with a small brass lamp in front. Green shrubs and a grassy yard lie in the background.
