A photograph of a seated man on a stage at an aushada preparation event, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a checked patterned turban, a rust-red robe, multiple rudraksha malas, and wooden bracelets, and holds his hands in a gesturing pose. Behind him are large orange and red painted deity sculptures with raised arms and a tall wooden door. In front are silver vessels, a stone mortar, brass dishes holding yellow turmeric and red kumkum powder, and a lemon, with a garlanded white throne-like seat to the right. The appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable): he has the turban, rudraksha malas, and rust-red robe, seated on a throne with the ceremonial setting.
