A ceremonial wedding ritual inside a decorated hall with blue and green painted walls and a gold-framed arch. On the left, a seated figure in a red-and-gold garland sits on a gold throne with a floral back. In front of him, a shaved-headed priest in an orange robe sits beside a small fire pit and brass vessels. Two men in white dhotis and shawls with white turbans stand at the center, one holding a garland, while a younger man in a dark maroon robe and rudraksha beads stands near the fire. On the right, two deity murtis in pink and purple silk sit beneath garlands of marigolds and roses, one with a crown and trident-like emblem. Bananas, coconuts and offering trays lie on the floor, and a yellow cushion sits in the foreground.
