A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red sleeveless tunic and red trousers, wearing a leopard-print headwrap, rudraksha bracelets on both arms and wrists, and a beaded necklace. He rests his chin on one hand while grinding a yellow paste with a stone pestle in a large dark stone mortar on a striped cloth. He sits on an ornate silver-embossed chair. Nearby are clay pots, a bowl of yellow paste, a small stone linga, and a plate of cooked rice. A man in white dhoti with a gold border stands at the left edge. The scene resembles preparation of a herbal medicine.
