A woman in an orange saree with a rudraksha mala around her neck holds a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, offering it toward a black cow with a red and gold blanket that is eating hay on a stone-paved courtyard under trees. Behind them a large printed portrait of a man in red robes and a red turban, wearing gold garlands and beads, sits on a gold-covered platform with a raised hand. The portrait is a depiction, not a physical person, and the image is a photograph of an outdoor cow-worship scene. Yellow pillars frame the setting.
