A covered courtyard at a temple-style compound during a harvest festival, with a colourful rangoli of red, pink and orange floral motifs on the floor. Two brass lamps with bird-shaped tops stand on a brass base beside a tray of sugarcane stalks and marigold flowers on a red cloth. Golden planters hold green plants with yellow flowers. In the open yard behind, a person in a red garment crouches beside clay pots and a small stone stand, while two black-and-white cows and a darker cow stand under a tree near a red-walled platform. Yellow flowers are scattered on the ground and a colourful umbrella hangs at left.
