A shirtless priest in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and white tilak stands at a small raised altar, holding a brass plate with offerings. Beside him a woman in a magenta saree with green border and gold jewellery stands with palms joined in namaste. Painted kolam designs decorate the pink walls, and a basket of grain sits in front of the cow. Other cattle are visible behind the enclosure.
