A woman in an orange sari with a red border and a rudraksha mala stands beside a young brown-and-white calf, holding a small brass lamp with one hand while her other hand rests on the calf's head. The calf wears a yellow garland and has a yellow mark on its forehead. Behind them, a small golden shrine houses a deity murti draped in red, and marigold petals and leaves are scattered on the ground. A red-painted wall and kolam designs frame the open-air shrine area. This appears to be a gau puja offering.
