A photograph of an Aushada preparation ritual in an ornately carved wooden-screened hall. A man with long dark hair wrapped in a leopard-print headband sits cross-legged on a silver chair, wearing rust-orange robes, a shawl, rudraksha malas and wrist beads, one hand raised to his chin. Around him lie banana leaves, silver wire coils, silver tongs and rods, a silver lotus-shaped tray, a blue enamel pot, brass bowls, a stone pestle and a silver-decorated altar with a small deity murti. A second person in orange robes stands at the right edge. A microphone stand is visible.
