Night-time outdoor ritual at an ashram. A man with a black turban and crescent emblem sits on an ornate silver chair, wearing a rust-orange sleeveless robe, multiple rudraksha malas, gold necklace and beaded armbands, with a sacred mark on his forehead. He bends forward and grinds or shapes a herbal preparation with his hands over a stone mortar and pestle. Nearby on a striped cloth stand a brass deity murti holding a lotus, bowls of herbs, leaves, a clay pot and a black stone. Behind a silver ornate throne-like altar decorated with white flower garlands stands a microphone stand, and tropical foliage lies in the background. This appears to be an aushadha preparation scene.

September 14 20172017-09-14A man with a long dark turban-style hairstyle and a crescent ornament on his head sits on an ornate silver chair in a saffron-red robe, with rudraksha malas across his chest and arms and a gold necklace. His eyes are closed and he holds a rudraksha mala in his hands. Before him are a stone mortar and pestle, a grinding stone, herbs, brass bowls, a small brass figure holding a lamp, and a silver peetha decorated with white garlands. A microphone stands nearby and a dark, leafy background surrounds the outdoor setting. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long hair, crescent ornament and rudraksha malas match the presentation cues, and he appears to be seated for aushadha preparation.2017-09-14 +3 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +3 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14September 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +3 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copies
