Overhead view of an indoor preparation area for herbal medicine, with trays and metal vessels of powdered herbs on a tiled floor and a granite ledge. Shallow silver-rimmed trays hold pale and yellow powders along the left edge, and several large metal pots stand empty or half-filled, one with turmeric-yellow powder being stirred. A woven basket holds green leaves, a bowl holds grains mixed with yellow flowers, and small mortars, pestles and a coconut shell lie nearby. A person in orange-brown clothing is partially visible at the lower right, hands in a pot, and striped floor mats show at the upper right. No clear a person candidate is visible, only a partially visible person in orange clothing with no identifiable face or features.
