Close photo of an Aushada preparation process on a table. In the foreground, a large silver-rimmed bowl holds a heap of fine white powder, and beside it a shallow bowl holds yellow powder. A brass lamp stand with a figure is at the left edge, and a small brass vessel with green leaves sits beyond it. Blurred hands in orange sleeves reach over a bowl of white powder with a bright flame glow behind. No faces are visible. A small cup and additional metal bowls of powder complete the arrangement.
