A photograph of a ceremonial wedding-style ritual on a raised stage with a turquoise backdrop decorated with gold-toned pediments. Three ornate gold arches frame seated deity murtis dressed in colourful silks and heavy garlands of marigolds and flowers, one in green, one in magenta and yellow. Two standing priests in white dhotis and white headcloths, with white shawls, stand at the centre and right holding their hands in anjali. In the foreground, a seated priest in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha-style mala sits before brass pots, plates of fruit, offerings and a tray of yellow items for puja. A monitor shows a small image at bottom right.
