A woman in a red and gold silk sari performs a gau puja at a cowshed. She kneels on the bare floor, holding a brass oil lamp and a brass bell toward a black-and-white spotted cow with a green cloth draped over its back, its horns tipped in gold and its head decorated with yellow flowers and rope tied at the horns. Behind her, several cows stand in pens under a corrugated roof. Against a red wall stands a gold-domed shrine housing a small seated figure in red and orange garments with a crown-like headdress, a garland and a necklace, flanked by two brass lamps and a flower offering. Floor and wall have white kolam patterns. A kumkum mark is on her forehead, and she wears bangles and an earring.
