A photograph of an outdoor ceremony with a crowd of onlookers behind. In the centre, a young man with curly brown hair wears a saffron-orange cloth, a rudraksha mala and white sacred markings on his face and arms; he holds a brass tray with a green leaf-decorated kalasha topped with a yellow coconut-like fruit, wrapped in an ornate gold-embroidered cloth. Opposite him, a woman with a large dark topknot wears a white and gold-bordered shawl and rudraksha beads and smiles as she reaches toward the tray. Behind them a woman in a maroon sari with a long beaded mala stands near a shirtless boy in white markings, and an orange-draped canopy forms the backdrop.
