A black-and-white spotted cow stands in a covered courtyard, its horns decorated with yellow flowers and red and yellow markings on its head, and a green-and-gold cloth draped over its back. It is eating fresh grass from the ground in front of it. A second cow with brown and white markings and a yellow flower garland tied at its neck is partially visible at left, along with other cows behind. In the background a golden shrine niche holds a seated deity murti in red and gold dress, with white flower garlands, a red turban-like crown and a rudraksha-style necklace, set on a green draped altar with a brass lamp to the right. A hand holding a brass oil lamp appears at the right edge, and scattered red flower petals lie on the floor. Red and white painted kolam designs decorate the walls.

A spotted black-and-white cow draped with a green and gold cloth stands with brass-tipped horns, a bell on its head rope, and a kumkum mark on its forehead, while a hand holds a lit oil lamp in a brass dish near its head. Behind it, a framed portrait with red and orange marigold garlands sits on a red-draped stand beside a brass oil lamp; the portrait shows a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and white necklace, so this is a depiction and the appearance-based label is a person.
