A blurred nighttime photo in a covered cowshed with a corrugated metal roof and red-painted back wall. A brown cow with a green cloth draped over its back eats grass spread on the floor, and a white cow stands behind it. A woman in a red top with red bangles, her face partly cut off at the right edge, holds a flower garland toward the brown cow while a small oil lamp burns nearby. Above on the wall, a framed photograph of a woman in an orange garment is garlanded with red flowers, with lit lamps placed before it on a red and yellow cloth. This is a gau puja scene with goseva. The portrait shows a woman, not a man, so it is not a depiction of a person.

Interior of a covered cowshed with a red-painted rear wall. Two cows graze on cut green grass on the floor: a brown cow in the foreground with an orange kumkum mark on its forehead and a green cloth draped over its back, and a white cow to the right, also with a kumkum mark. A small altar against the wall holds a framed portrait of a man with long dark hair in orange robes, garlanded with red and white flowers, flanked by two oil lamps, with a yellow and red cloth on the table. On the right edge, a person in red clothing holds a lit oil lamp near the white cow's head. Goseva and gaumatha puja are being performed.2022-01-06Night-time photo inside a covered cowshed where two cows are being fed. A brown cow in the foreground with a green cloth draped over its back and a white cow beside it with orange tilak marks on their foreheads eat cut grass from the floor. A person's arm in a red sleeve with red bangles and a gold bracelet offers grass to the white cow. Behind them against a red wall, a framed portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" is garlanded with red and white flowers, with two brass oil lamps lit on a yellow and red draped table as a Gau puja offering. The portrait figure wears orange robes and a beaded necklace; the depicted person is a portrait, not a physical person in the scene. One physical person is visible, only their arm.2022-01-06Jan 6 2022 sripuram2022-01-06Two cows eat grass and fodder from a woven basket in a dim, covered shed at night. A brown cow with a vermilion mark on its forehead stands in the foreground, and a white cow with a red tilak on its forehead grazes beside it. Behind them, a red-painted wall holds a framed portrait garlanded with red flowers, flanked by two lit oil lamps on a draped table in red and yellow cloth. A hand in the right edge holds a brass lamp with a flame, performing aarti toward the portrait. A figure in saffron clothing is shown in the portrait, but whether it is a person is not determinable from appearance. The setting suggests a gau puja and gau seva offering.2022-01-06Jan 6 2022 sripuram2022-01-06Jan 6 2022 sripuram2022-01-06Jan 6 2022 sripuram2022-01-06Evening photo inside a covered cow shed.
