A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap and a small red bindi, sits on a white cushioned seat and extends his hand toward a young woman in a yellow-orange sari who leans in, her head lowered, while another woman in the foreground holds his hand near her head. Around them, a man in a white kurta with a purple-and-white scarf and orange shawl stands at left, a man in a lavender shirt with glasses holds a paper slip, and a man in white with a long rudraksha mala stands at the top. A table in front holds prasad, rudraksha malas, kumkum and booklets. A fan and flowers appear in the background.
