A woman in a turquoise blouse and green silk saree stands beside a black-and-white spotted cow with yellow-tipped horns that is eating from a woven basket of feed. She holds a lit lamp or incense stick near the cow's head, with a yellow-and-white garland on its horns and a tilak mark on its forehead. Behind her, a seated deity murti in red and gold clothing sits within an ornate golden canopy shrine draped with green cloth, and a wall of kolam dots is visible at the left. This appears to be a gau puja offering.
