A seated man with long dark hair wound in a high turban, a red-orange sleeveless robe, and a rudraksha mala with multiple strands, presses an herbal mixture in a stone mortar at a ceremonial table during a night outdoor event. Beaded bands are on his upper arms, and a tiger-striped cloth sits beneath him on an ornate silver chair. Around him are brass bowls, wicker baskets, green herbs, a stone mortar and pestle, a trident-like rod, and a silver shrine with flower garlands. A stand microphone is visible behind him. Ritual preparation of herbal medicine is shown; the man's identity is not established from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.
