A photograph of a black-and-white cow with yellow marigold garlands and a red-and-gold cloth draped over its back, its face being touched by a man in white. The man wears a white dhoti with gold borders, a white shawl and a wristwatch, and he holds the cow's muzzle with his right hand. A smiling woman in a dark top stands at the left beside the cow's head, and a few men in white dhotis and shawls stand in the background, one with a gold necklace and two young men at right with shaved heads wear garlands. The setting is an open courtyard with orange-roofed buildings behind.
