A woman in an orange sari with a pink border stands beside a brown and white cow in a open-sided shed with a corrugated red roof. She holds the cow's green-draped back area, offering to it, while the cow lowers its head to eat a large bundle of fresh green fodder laid on a concrete slab. The cow wears a rope halter and a green cloth draped over its back. Behind them a red wall, a small figure and dried grass appear, with other cattle visible through the doorway. The scene reflects go seva and gaumatha puja.
