A seated man in saffron-red robes and a rudraksha mala stands at the centre of a ritual stage, speaking into a microphone while gesturing with his right hand. Before him lie brass and silver bowls of turmeric, kumkum, powders, leaves and flowers, a large silver vessel and a blue pot, arranged on colourful striped cloth, consistent with an aushada preparation. Two painted golden-orange dvarapala-style guardian figures with raised arms flank a wooden door behind him, and a silver palanquin decorated with white garlands sits to the right.
