A man in a rust-red robe with rudraksha beads, a leopard-print headband and white forehead markings sits at the wooden press, working its handle, while a younger man with a rudraksha mala and red-brown robe steadies the frame from above. A third man in white dhoti with white striped markings works at the base near a large grey stone mortar and pestle, with a woven basket and brass lamps behind. A microphone boom is visible above, and the background is glowing gold with green foliage.
