A seated man in a maroon-red sannyasi robe and a black-and-white patterned head wrap with a crescent ornament sits before a golden-yellow temple backdrop. He wears layered rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets and gestures with one hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Before him are brass vessels, a stone mortar, a small bowl of yellow powder, red kumkum and heaps of powders with lemon-like fruit, used for aushada preparation. Two painted dvarapala guardian figures with tridents flank a wooden door, and a garlanded silver seat stands at right.
