A photo of a woman in an orange and gold patterned sari with a teal blouse, her hair in a long braid, gently holding the head of a black-and-white spotted calf wearing a yellow flower garland. Beside her a young girl in a cream embroidered dress with a red bindi and red thread necklace, her hair in a braid tied with a pink ribbon, looks on, holding a small paper cup. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts with red and green borders stand around them, with a hand raised near the upper right. The setting appears to be an outdoor ritual gathering, and the scene suggests a cow-related ceremony.
