A person wearing a maroon-red robe sits cross-legged, with only the lower body and hands visible; a bead mala hangs at the neck and one hand rests on a silver-capped staff. The other hand holds a bundle of dried grass dropped onto a dark stone fire pit where flames rise. Beside the pit sit a brass bowl with liquid, a stone grinding mortar with a black pestle, and ornate silver-lidded vessels on a pink and cream cloth.2017-11-05Close view of a ritual preparation of aushada herbs. A seated figure in orange-ochre robes with rudraksha malas on the wrist and neck has clasped hands, and only the torso and hands are visible. In front, a grey stone mortar and pestle sits on a leopard-print cloth beside a bowl of green leaves, a blue-rimmed steel pot and yellow powder offerings. To the right, a small brass deity figure stands holding a lit oil lamp flame, beside a silver-covered altar with a framed image and brass vessels.
