A man in a white silk shirt and cream silk dhoti with a gold border stands barefoot, bending forward with his hand resting on the head of a woman kneeling at his feet, who wears an orange and gold silk sari and a yellow marigold garland. Beside them stands a smiling woman in a magenta and maroon silk sari with gold bangles and a yellow garland, and behind her a bearded man in a pale green kurta with a yellow garland. Other garlanded people in white and green clothing are visible at the edges, and marigold petals lie on the floor. The scene reflects a ritual blessing between spouses, with no identifiable a person depicted.2009-12-26April 20 20172017-04-20May 07 20172017-05-07May 02 20122012-05-02 +2 copiesPhoto 11712652A seated woman in an orange-red sari wears layered gold necklaces, a yellow and red floral garland, gold bangles and an armlet, and she places her right hand on the head of an older man in a white shirt who kneels with palms pressed together in namaste.
