He wears long dark dreadlocked hair topped with a white crescent ornament, a white and black forehead mark, a gold pendant necklace, and multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and arms. His eyes are lowered as he works at a stone mortar and pestle on the ground, with a dark stone mortar, herbs and a bowl of yellow powder in front of him. Green leafy herbs lie in the foreground, and a dark background blurs the outdoor night setting. Presented as a probable Swamiji (Nithyananda Paramashivam) seated in the herbal medicine preparation ritual, based on the distinctive long swept-back hair, crescent ornament, rudraksha malas and gold necklace.
