He wears a dark maroon-red sleeveless garment with a leopard-print waist sash, long rudraksha mala beads, a gold chain, and a tall dark dreadlocked turban-style hair crown. He holds a folded white cloth and a small silver object. Before him are a wooden block, a stone grinding slab, green herbs, a wicker basket, silver trays, yellow powder and a brass lamp-holder figure. Red pillars and foliage form the background, and a microphone stand is visible at top right. The scene suggests herbal preparation during a ritual.
