Night outdoor ritual scene. A man with long, swept-up dark hair, a crescent ornament at the top of his head, a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala draped over a rust-red sleeveless garment sits on an ornate silver-backed chair holding a white conch-shaped vessel. Beside him are a stone grinding slab with a pestle, baskets of green herbs, a small brass figure, a silver tray with flowers, and an oil lamp burning in the foreground. Red pillars and dark foliage frame the setting. a person is seated centrally, with cues of long swept hair, crescent ornament and rudraksha mala, and his role is officiating at a herbal preparation with the vessel and grinding stone.
