A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne at night, outdoors with dark foliage behind him. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe, a leopard-print waist belt, layered rudraksha malas, a gold chain and red-and-gold armbands, with a long swept-back black turban-style hair and a crescent emblem above the forehead. He holds a white cloth and a mala, eyes closed and smiling. In front of him are a dark stone slab with yellow powder, herbs, coconuts, a stone mortar and a silver tray, while a small metal deity figure holding a lamp and wisps of smoke stand at right. a person: the flowing hair, crescent emblem, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial gold necklace match the page's description of a person presiding over an aushadha preparation, though this is appearance-based.
