Scene: A ceremonial go-dāna: a decorated milk cow with garlands and ornaments stands with her calf; the donor pours water into the brāhmaṇa’s hand (saṅkalpa-dāna), with Viṣṇu emblems nearby; attendants hold lamps and offerings.

A ‘sat-tīrtha’ (excellent pilgrimage ford) within Ayodhyā’s sacred landscape as described in Ayodhyā Māhātmya.
