A photograph of a bearded man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne in an outdoor night setting. He wears a dark, long-haired turban-style headdress with a white crescent ornament, a red sleeveless robe, a leopard-print waist sash, and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and upper arms. He has white and horizontal vertical tilak marks on his forehead and a gold pendant necklace. Before him stands a black stone grinding slab with yellow turmeric powder and a pestle, beside a mortar, herbs and leafy plants, indicating an herbal preparation ritual. A microphone is visible at the upper right. Given the page's reference to an aushadha making event and the appearance cues of distinctive long hair, a crescent ornament, rudraksha malas and ornate clothing, this is.
