In the foreground, a figure in saffron robes stands at left beside a rolled-up striped mat with brass lamps, a bell, a small silver tray and green leaves. Centre, a woman in saffron sari with gold border leads a brown cow with red-marked horns; another cow stands behind her. A man in a light blue shirt and dark trousers and a man in white dhoti with shoulder cloth stand nearby. Several people in saffron and maroon robes move around a rangoli design and a golden canopy with red and gold fringe overhead. A photographer in white shirt films the procession. A green signboard with a white logo is visible, along with a wooden pole painted red and white on the ground.
