Outdoor ceremony under pink and white draped canopies on bare earth. A figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange head wrap and long dark hair stands barefoot in front of a kneeling woman in a turquoise and yellow floral sari with a brown bag, who reaches down to touch his feet in padapuja-style reverence. Around them men in white dhotis and white shirts stand watching; one holds a long wooden staff, another wears a red-and-gold shawl. A man in a plaid shirt holds a booklet, and a red chair and pink-covered table with garlands sit at left. Several pairs of sandals rest on the ground at right. The orange-robed figure is an appearance-based a person (long hair, saffron robe and orange head wrap) and the page places him at this event.
