A photograph of a man seated on a white cushioned throne, wearing a rust-orange sleeveless top and matching dhoti, a dark rudraksha mala draped over his chest, and a dark turban-style headwrap with a crescent ornament at the front. He has a red-orange tilak on his forehead and holds a small stone pestle in a stone mortar, grinding herbs. Green leaves, a brass vessel, and small offerings lie on a cloth before him, with a glowing oil lamp in front. A silver-cased box and a bronze deity murti sit at the right, and a microphone stands nearby. The setting is an outdoor temple-like courtyard with red pillars and hanging yellow and red decorations. The scene matches an aushadha preparation, a herbal medicine ritual.

September 14 20172017-09-14A seated man in a rust-orange sannyasi garment with a sleeveless top and dhoti-style lower wrap sits on a white ornate chair with eyes closed, wearing a black turban-like headwrap with a crescent ornament, multiple rudraksha malas across the chest and arms, and a gold chain. Before him on a low stone mortar and cloth-covered table are fresh green herbs, a pestle, small jars, a silver casket and a brass deity figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair under a turban with crescent cue, rudraksha malas and gold ornamentation, but the appearance is uncertain enough to be shown as a candidate; one person is physically present.2017-09-14September 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesA man seated on a white cushioned throne at dusk in an outdoor ashram setting, dressed in a rust-red sleeveless top and dhoti with a leopard-print waist sash, a long rudraksha mala around his neck and matching rudraksha bands on his upper arms.
