In the foreground a woman in an orange sari with gold border and a red bindi gently holds the head of a brown calf, with a small bell on its neck, as an orange-clad companion stands close. A pink and blue striped cloth lies at left. Behind them a crowd of people in white kurtas and orange-red shawls stands with hands folded in namaste, and some wear white head coverings. The scene suggests a go-shala or cow-honouring gesture, and no a person candidate is clearly identifiable.2016-10-06June 06 20182018-06-06A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with a white flower garland, gold necklaces, bangles and a blue-and-red beaded bracelet receives an offering from a kneeling elderly woman with short white hair, wearing white clothes and a rudraksha mala.

Behind them, a woman in a white sari and crossbody bag, and another woman in a grey-and-white sari holding a tray of bananas and fruit, stand in front of brass lamps and a tray of offerings. Only the ritual participants are physically present.2015-06-02June 06 20182018-06-06May 04 20172017-05-04A photograph of a devotional scene on bare earth. A young woman with long light-brown hair, wearing a white top and an orange shawl, leans forward and offers her open hand to a black cow. The cow is adorned with a white flower garland, red flowers, a yellow marigold garland and a decorated forehead. Around her, barefoot people in white and orange garments stand watching; one man in white holds the cow's rope, and scattered white petals lie on the ground. The scene appears to be a cow-worship ritual.2007-09-24September 15 20152015-09-15A seated audience of women at a satsang hall, many wearing white or cream clothing and rudraksha malas.
