He holds a bunch of pink flowers in one hand and a leafy green branch in the other, while a silver vessel with more pink flowers sits at the lower left. A green branch with leaves hangs before his body. Palm fronds and a wooden pole fill the background.2013-10-10A woman in a brown silk sari with a gold border stands at a ceremony, smiling and holding her hands over a small brass tray. She wears a multi-strand gold bead necklace, gold bangles, rings and a fresh garland of white jasmine and pink flowers with gold-colored leaves.

The man on the left has a short-cropped head, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala, and an orange-saffron shawl with yellow borders; he gazes slightly downward with his lips parted. The man on the right, head bowed with eyes lowered and forehead to his folded hands, wears a long dark-maroon robe with gold borders, a heavy gold-toned ceremonial necklace, and a gold ring on one finger. Behind them is a blurred dark frame with a metallic ornament and green foliage. Appearance alone does not establish either man's identity, so no name is given.2013-10-10A close photograph of one man with palms pressed together in anjali mudra at his chest, eyes half-lowered.
