A seated man in a rust-red sleeveless robe with a leopard-print waist sash and a gold-coloured wrap at the hip sits cross-legged on a silver-toned chair with a tiger-striped cushion, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a black turban with a crescent ornament, a tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas and a gold chain, and red bead bands on his arms. In front of him is a black stone mortar with yellow powder and a pestle, surrounded by bowls of yellow powder, green herbs in a basket, and a grey stone. Beside him stands a small golden figure holding a lamp, and a silver ornate throne with flower garlands is at right. Foliage and a microphone stand appear behind. a person seated in meditation while preparing herbal medicine (aushadha). Gold figure, silver throne and herbs are objects, not people.
