A dark stone deity murti of a bull, Nandi, sits in the foreground draped in gold jewellery, layered ornate necklaces and a golden shawl with pink and green silk. An orange and red headcloth is tied over its head with a small red kumkum mark on the forehead. In the background, a figure in a red and gold turban and pink-and-white robe sits on a raised seat before a red curtain, possibly a statue or portrait rather than a live person. The room has a yellow wall and a dark polished altar base, consistent with temple alankaram.
