A tall copper-coloured pillar stands at left on a white base, and a large black bull statue sits on a white pedestal in the centre. Behind, an orange building with a striped red-and-white border carries signage reading Sri Adi Ishwar temple. A figure in orange robes sits in the distance near a white pedestal, and palm trees frame the scene.
