A photo inside a covered cowshed at a temple-like shelter. A brown cow, draped in an orange silk cloth with a red and gold trim, stands on a raised platform with a red and white rope around its neck. Behind it, a man with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala around his neck wears an orange garment, and a woman in a white sari with dark hair stands nearby. On the right wall, a framed portrait garlanded with orange and red flowers rests on a table covered in a yellow and red cloth. A pink bucket and concrete troughs sit in the foreground, with kolam-style designs painted on the platform edges. The scene reflects a gau puja or goseva ritual.
