A woman in a teal blouse and red saree with a vibhuti forehead mark strokes the head of a black-and-white calf draped in a red and gold brocade cloth. Beside her, a smiling woman in a white saree with a gold border and orange shawl holds the rope of a large black-and-white cow decorated with a red and gold cloth. Behind them, several men in white dhoti and shirts with white shawls and red lanyards stand watching, along with a girl in a pink dress and other onlookers. The cows are being honoured as part of a gathering. No a person candidate is visible.
