A seated man in a rust-red sleeveless robe and red-brown dhoti wears a tall dark dreadlocked turban with a white crescent ornament, rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a gold necklace. He sits on an ornate silver-backed chair draped with a striped tiger-print cloth, holding two coconuts over a stone grinding slab dusted with yellow powder. Around him are silver bowls of turmeric-yellow and grain offerings, green herb sprigs, a wicker basket, a brass figure of a deity with raised hand, a silver deity idol garlanded with flowers, and a mortar and pestle. Night foliage and a microphone stand form the background. The man appears to be a person seated in ritual activity.
