He wears a rust-orange sleeveless robe with a leopard-print belt, a long dark rudraksha mala, rudraksha bracelets and a gold chain, and has a tall black matted topknot with a crescent ornament and a tilak on his forehead. He holds a white conch-like vessel in one hand. In front of him is a wooden stand with a grinding stone and a small pile of yellow turmeric powder, with a green herb bundle, a wicker basket and a brass mortar-like container nearby. A bronze figure stands at right beside a metal box and dense green foliage fills the background. Probable Swamiji is seated in the central position, wearing distinctive saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and a crown-like topknot.

A seated man in a rust-red sleeveless robe and red sash sits on an ornate silver-backed throne at night, smiling and holding a white folded cloth. He wears a tall black matted headpiece with a crescent ornament, a red tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace. Before him on a dark wooden block lie herbs, a pestle, a small silver implement and a shell-like object, with a silver-framed table of offerings and a figurine at right. Smoke rises at the right edge, and a microphone clip is visible on his face. Appearance-based identification suggests the probable Swamiji (probable) in a presiding role, based on the long swept-back hair, crown-like ornament and rudraksha malas; the page's claim of herb preparation is consistent with the visible herbs and mortar.2017-09-14 +1 copiesA man with a tall black turban and a short beard sits on an ornate silver throne at night outdoors, smiling and speaking into a microphone on a boom stand.
