Photograph of an aushadha preparation setup on a grey granite floor. Several silver-rimmed plates hold heaps of powders: a pale white powder, bright yellow turmeric, ochre and beige herbal powders. A small wooden box holds a sprig of green leaves, and a wooden mortar and pestle sit among the plates. Smaller clay pots and a turmeric-filled bowl are at the right, with white and yellow kolam designs on the floor. No people are visible in the frame.
