A seated man in a rust-red robe and layered rudraksha malas grinds herbs in a wooden press, bracing a wooden crossbar with both hands while an assistant in a white-and-red outfit steadies the frame from the left. A leopard-print headwrap sits on his head, with white tilak on his forehead, and a clip-on microphone is visible beside his face. Behind him stand a silver-and-white chair, green foliage and golden lights, and a stone mortar with a pestle rests on the floor in front. The scene looks like a demonstration of preparing a herbal remedy.
