A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe over a red-orange cloth, wearing a patterned white-and-black headband, rudraksha malas, a pendant, and beaded arm bands, sitting on a white ornate chair before a microphone. He holds a small object in one hand and a blue-and-yellow packet in the other while flat dried cow-dung cakes are stacked on a metal dish over a small fire on the floor. A low stone fire pit with flower petals lies in the foreground, with brass vessels, a silver lamp stand and a silver-legged table with flower garlands nearby. A woman with braided hair and a rudraksha mala sits at the left edge. Red pillars and a red building stand behind the open courtyard. This appears to depict the Aushadha purification process with burning cow-dung smoke.
