A man seated on an ornate silver-backed throne-style chair at night, outdoors among dark foliage. He wears a dark red sleeveless robe with a leopard-print waist belt, multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a gold necklace. His long dark hair is wrapped high in a turban-like style with a crescent ornament on top, and he has a horizontal tilak on his forehead. He smiles while looking to the side, one hand resting on the chair arm and holding a mala. In front of him is a low table with a small brass vessel, a mortar with a pestle, a stone, herbs and sprigs, yellow powder in bowls, and a bamboo basket. A microphone stand is at right beside a silver figure of a deity and a garlanded altar.
