A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe sits cross-legged on a colourful striped rug in a ceremonial hall before a large golden wooden door flanked by two painted standing deity figures with raised arms. He wears a patterned turban, rudraksha mala necklaces and wrist malas, and has a crescent ornament on his head. Around him are ritual items: a large engraved silver vessel, a blue pot, brass bowls of turmeric, kumkum and powders, a silver palanquin-style seat strewn with flower garlands, and a microphone on a stand. The scene suggests an aushada preparation with sacred powders.
