He wears a leopard-print turban over long dark matted hair, with a white-painted forehead marked by a red tilak. Beside him stand an ornate silver table holding silver bowls and vessels, a silver bull figure, a brass trident and tall brass oil lamps, with a gold-toned backdrop behind. The scene suggests an Ayurvedic-style herbal preparation, and a flower garland is visible at the left edge. The man appears to be a Swamiji (probable), identified by his distinctive visible cues of matted hair, leopard turban, layered rudraksha malas and saffron-red ceremonial robe, while performing the preparation.2017-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesPhoto 11716378December 10 20172017-12-10December 10 20172017-12-10Photograph of a seated bearded man in a maroon-red wrap and layered rudraksha malas, wearing a leopard-print headwrap and a small tilak on his forehead.
