Outdoor cattle scene under a thatched shelter at an ashram yard. Four cows stand tied to wooden posts on bare ground: a brown and white cow on the left, two black-and-white Holstein-type cows in the centre, and a black cow with a red-and-white garland around its neck and a yellow-and-orange marking on its forehead on the right. A white concrete water trough sits behind them. In the background at left, two women in saffron and white clothing sit near brass vessels and a small lamp, and a standing person in a white dhoti and saffron shawl stands near the fence.
