A seated man in a maroon-red dhoti-style wrap and rudraksha malas across his chest and upper arms works a wooden hand-press or rope-wound spindle device on a low wooden frame, turning a fibrous material as a second person in the left foreground leans in. He wears a leopard-print headband over long dark hair and a small microphone clip on his cheek. Behind him are gold and brass oil lamps, a large golden ornamental backdrop and green foliage. In the foreground are a stone mortar and pestle, a wicker basket, a brass bowl, small bottles and a turquoise wooden stand.

Two attendants lean in from the left: one in a red cloth with long dark hair, another with white horizontal markings on the arms and a bare shoulder, feeding material into a small wooden trough over a small flame. A stone mortar and pestle sit in the foreground. Behind, a golden ornamental backdrop with brass lamps and green foliage; a microphone boom runs across the frame.
