A seated man with eyes closed grinds herbs in a black stone mortar on a low table, his hands holding a pestle beside a heap of yellow powder. He wears a rust-red sleeveless top, a long rudraksha mala, rudraksha armbands, a gold chain and a leopard-print waist sash. Dreadlocked hair is wrapped in a turban with a small crescent ornament, and a tilak is marked on his forehead. He sits on an ornate silver chair with a tiger-striped cushion. Green leaves, woven baskets, clay bowls and drifting smoke surround the scene, with a microphone stand visible at right.
