A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-backed throne on a temple-style stage, speaking into a microphone on a black boom arm. He wears a leopard-print turban with a long hair bun, a red-brown robe, a long rudraksha mala and matching rudraksha bracelets, and a tilak on his forehead. Around him are stone mortars and pestles, mounds of yellow and red powders, a brass figure and a blue bucket. Behind him stand a large deity murti and pillars in red and orange. Appearance-based cues including the turban, rudraksha malas and ornate setting suggest Swamiji (probable), seated in person during the aushada preparation.
