A seated man in a rust-red sleeveless robe with a leopard-print waist cloth sits in a padmasana-like pose on a cushioned seat outdoors at night, eyes lowered, hands resting in his lap. He wears a large black turban-style head wrap with a crescent ornament, a rudraksha mala across his chest, arm bands and gold necklace. In front of him are brass plates of yellow powder, a stone mortar and pestle, herbs, a small bronze figure holding a lamp and a bowl of offerings, with a silver throne and garlanded deity image behind. The setting is a garden with banana plants. This resembles an aushadha preparation scene.
