Night outdoor ritual scene. A man with a tall black turban bearing a crescent emblem and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits eyes closed on an ornate silver-backed chair with a leopard-print cloth. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe, rudraksha malas around his neck and arms, and a gold necklace. Before him are a black wooden base with a yellow paste, a stone pestle and mortar, bowls of yellow powder, a wicker basket, herbs, and a silver-trimmed table. A small golden deity statue with a cobra hood stands to the right beside a microphone stand and garlands. Dense foliage surrounds the setting. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban with crescent, rudraksha malas and ceremonial dress, seated on a throne in an aushadha preparation.
