A seated man in a rust-brown robe and rudraksha malas sits on an ornate white-and-silver chair before a microphone stand, with a patterned leopard-print turban, white vertical tilak on the forehead, and a crescent moon ornament. His bare arms bear rudraksha bracelets and a gold necklace. Before him stand a small bronze deity figure, brass bowls with yellow turmeric powder and a yellow fruit, and floral garlands. Behind him a large painted backdrop shows a red-and-gold deity figure with a staff. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's turban, crescent ornament, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial setting match the cues for Swamiji; his role is seated presenter at an aushada preparation event.
