A man with a shaved-looking dark topknot wrapped in a leopard-print headcloth sits cross-legged on a golden ornate throne before a carved gold arch with red cross-pattern panels. He wears a rust-brown saffron-toned dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold-bead mala and a large gold pendant, with a red thread at his wrist. In front of him are brass bowls, a stone grinding slab with pestle, a copper pot, a small brass figurine, and a silver staff. Garlanded white flowers drape the throne at right. A red curtain frames the scene. A microphone stands at his side. Front-of-scene activity suggests an herbal or ritual preparation at a stage setting.
