A wedding-style ritual in a hall decorated with white flower garlands and a flower-framed backdrop. A standing person in an orange saffron robe, with long dark hair, holds a small vessel at the left edge. Seated at centre, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a white flower garland sits beside a woman in red sari with a garland, both receiving the ritual. A woman in a green sari with a gold border and jasmine in her hair sits on a chair at right, holding a plate. Brass lamps with lit flames, a metal bowl of fruit, and brass plates lie on the floor. Other seated people in white and orange clothes assist, and a cameraman in orange stands behind.

A photograph of a wedding-style ritual at a fire altar. A figure seated on the left wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold-and-beaded necklace and holds yellow thread lengths aloft, smiling. Three people sit to the right in front of a floral backdrop: a man in white with a red-and-white garland, a woman in a red sari with white flower garlands and gold bangles, and a man in white with a white garland beside a woman in a red sari. A small flame burns on a brick-and-tile platform with fruit, a brass bowl, a kalasha-like vessel and a potted plant in front. Behind them a large floral arch frames a framed portrait of a long-haired woman in orange. The figure in saffron does not qualify as an appearance-based a person candidate, so the visible person is described by role only.2006-07-13July 13 20062006-07-13September 16 20132013-09-16September 16 20132013-09-16September 16 20132013-09-16September 16 20132013-09-16December 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesSeptember 16 20132013-09-16A Hindu wedding ritual in an outdoor courtyard.
