A woman in a yellow and gold embroidered saree and gold bangle stands with her back to the camera, holding a lit brass oil lamp up to a tall red satin banner. The banner shows a white cow with a red saddle cloth and rows of small painted ritual symbols beneath it. The banner is mounted over a black pedestal with a brass base, and a red rope barrier and a golden deity figure appear in the background of an indoor hall.
