A 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. Beside her, a young priest with a shaved head, white tilak marks and an orange-red shawl bends forward, offering the tray with a brass dish and a small silver container. Behind them is a backdrop of red, yellow and green flower arrangements.
