A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, wearing a leopard-print headwrap with a crescent ornament, rudraksha mala necklaces and rudraksha bracelets, sits on a white throne-like seat holding a long metal rod (a pestle-like staff) with both hands. Before him are brass bowls of yellow turmeric powder, red kumkum, grey ash and other powders, a stone mortar and pestle, a small silver cow figure and a silver statue, and a metal pot. Behind him are large orange-painted deity murti figures with multiple arms and an ornate golden door. A microphone stands at right, and a flower garland lies at the edge. This is an aushada preparation setting with powders being prepared in front of a seated presenter.
