A thickly textured painting of a temple interior in deep greens and ochres: a garlanded Nandi bull in the foreground, seen from behind, facing a shivling on its pedestal in a lit niche, with marigolds and offerings laid before it.

Room 02 · Devotional

The bull at the threshold, facing the lingam he has faced for as long as there have been temples.

Hangs in Devotional, room 02 of 14: Older grammars — folk, ornament, and the painted god — kept alive by copying them well.
