Outdoor ritual scene on a dirt courtyard. In the foreground a bald man in plain white shirt and white trousers walks beside a young boy wearing white dhoti-style cloth with a maroon border and a gold necklace, his bare upper body visible. Between them and behind is a black-and-white cow draped in an orange and gold silk cloth with fringe and a red-gold blanket, decorated with a yellow flower garland. Behind, a crowd of seated onlookers, mostly women in white, watches from a wall. A red-and-white banner with printed text hangs at upper right and a hand holding a camera appears at left.
