A seated man in a dark turban with a crescent ornament on the front, wearing a rust-red sleeveless top, red-brown dhoti, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, rudraksha malas on his neck and arms, and a gold chain, sits on an ornate silver throne at an outdoor evening ritual. He holds a metal rod and works over a black stone slab dusted with yellow powder while herbs, bowls, a stone mortar and pestle, and small heaps of powder lie before him on a colourful cloth. A silver throne with a deity murti and garlands stands to the right, a small brass figure sits nearby, and a microphone is set beside him. Scene suggests Ayurvedic medicine preparation with herbs. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with the turban, crescent and rudraksha malas fits the page's reference to Swamiji.
