A seated man in a rust-red sannyasi robe with a leopard-print waistband sits on an ornate silver throne-chair outdoors at night. He wears a crescent ornament on a long dreadlocked turban, a tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and red beaded armlets, and holds a mala in his right hand. In front of him is a small brass-and-stone ritual setup with a cane, a stone and yellow powder, while a brass deity murti holding a lamp stands at right beside a silver-decorated offering tray with flowers. A microphone stand is at right, with dense green foliage behind. The page suggests the scene is an aushadha-making event, but no preparation is visibly under way.
