A woman in a red salwar kameez and red dupatta stands under a red corrugated roof in a cowshed, performing a gau puja beside a small altar. On the altar is a framed portrait garlanded with red marigolds, showing a figure in orange robes with a mala necklace, with a brass oil lamp and a brass plate in front and a red and gold cloth draped on the table. Two cows are present: a large black-and-white cow with a rope halter in the foreground and a smaller spotted calf to the right beside the woman. A portrait of a person in orange is shown on the altar, which does not confirm the identity of anyone physically present.
