A group photograph at a decorated wedding ceremony with a white drape backdrop and tall floral arrangements in red, pink, yellow and white. Standing in the centre is a man in a saffron-red turban and a red-and-gold ritual shawl with a garland, beside a man in white dhoti and shawl with a white and green garland and a woman in an orange-red sari with a gold necklace and garland. Around them stand about fifteen relatives and guests in saris, white kurtas and dhotis, and a few children, several in orange and white. Brass oil lamps, a multi-tier brass lamp stand, clay pots, a brass vessel and a plate with leaves and offerings sit on an orange-dyed floor in front. The centre man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm any identity, so he is described only by role and clothing.
