A clay pot of boiling pongal sits on a mud stove over a small wood fire on bare ground. The pot has a white milky rim and is decorated with flower petals and yellow marigolds, with bamboo sticks propping the fire. Painted green and pink rangoli lines curve along the ground behind it, and a brass plate lies at the lower right. A person in red clothing is partly visible at the bottom left edge, and a cow's leg appears at the top right.
