A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe with rudraksha malas around his neck and forearms sits cross-legged on a colourful woven rug before an ornate orange-lit backdrop with two tall deity statues holding attributes. He wears a black-and-white patterned turban with a crescent ornament and has white vibhuti marks on his forehead. A microphone stand is at right and brass bowls with powders, including yellow and red kumkum/turmeric, sit before him beside a copper vessel, a small brass figure and a decorated silver throne. The scene suggests an aushada preparation ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, saffron-toned robe and rudraksha malas, indicating he is the presiding teacher.
