Close view of a ritual preparation of herbal medicine. A seated person in a rust-red robe and rudraksha mala holds a white conch-shaped vessel above a wooden block coated with yellow turmeric paste, with a silver-handled tool in the paste. Nearby stand stone mortars and pestles holding yellow powder, green leaves and sprigs lie on a striped purple, green and pink cloth, and a small dark shivalinga sits in a bowl with reddish residue. A silver-footed tray and a box of dark stone items appear at the edges.
