A small shrine photographed indoors shows a golden statue of a seated figure in a red-and-maroon robe and a red-orange turban, wearing a white flower garland with red blossoms and a rudraksha mala. The statue sits within a gilded pillared canopy against a deep red wall. In front stand a brass oil lamp and a brass bell on a tray. A white calf with dark markings lies on the concrete floor below, tied with a yellow cord. A green silk cloth with gold paisley embroidery drapes the platform. The figure is a statue, not a physical person, so it is depicted rather than in person.

A woman in an orange saree with a red blouse stands at right, pouring liquid from a small metal vessel onto the head of a white calf with a brown-tinged face. Beside them a brown and white spotted cow stands with a yellow tilak mark on its forehead, a green-and-gold cloth draped over its back. Behind them a red-painted wall holds a small deity murti with red and white decoration on a purple-draped altar, under a corrugated roof. The scene looks like a gaumatha puja, with the cows decorated in kumkum and turmeric marks for worship.

A woman in a red-and-pink saree and a dark hair bun stands at right, holding a brass bell in one hand and a small lamp or incense item in the other while performing puja. In front of her, a golden canopy shrine holds a seated deity murti dressed in red, with white pearl garlands draped across the arch and marigold garlands hanging on the red wall. Brass lamps flank the shrine on a green cloth-covered base. Black-and-white and brown cows stand in a roofed cowshed in the foreground, one with a green-and-gold cloth draped over its back, reflecting a gau puja (cow worship) setting.

A woman in a green saree with a multicolored floral blouse kneels beside two young calves in a shed with bamboo lattice walls, gently touching the face of the brown-and-white calf in front. Behind her, a gilded wooden shrine holds a deity murti draped with a red brocade cloth, garlanded with white pearl strands, marigolds and red flowers, with green sugarcane stalks standing around it and a brass oil lamp in the foreground.

A woman in a red and gold patterned saree with a hair bun stands barefoot beside a golden shrine niche, holding a small metal vessel and pouring or offering near a seated figure. The seated figure wears a red-orange turban and robe with a white flower garland and beads, raising one hand in blessing, set on a golden pedestal with lamps and offerings. A black-and-white spotted cow with a green-gold cloth draped over its back stands at left, and a calf lies at the lower left. Red flower petals are scattered on the concrete floor, and the red-painted wall has white kolam-style designs at the right edge. This appears to be a go seva or Gau puja scene at a temple shrine.
