A man with a tall dark turban topped by a small white crescent ornament sits cross-legged on a silver-backed chair draped with a striped tiger-pattern cloth. He wears rust-orange robes, a leopard-print waist sash, a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, with a tilak on his forehead, and his eyes are closed as his hands work over a small wooden box holding herbs and a flame. In front are woven baskets, a wooden tray of green leaves, clay cups, a brass figure of a standing deity, and a stone mortar and pestle on a multicoloured striped cloth. Smoke and flames rise from a bowl of burning material, and a microphone stands at the upper right.
