A photograph of a ceremonial wedding ritual at night, centred on a golden-faced deity murti of a goddess with a dark hair bun, gold crown, red-and-gold sari and a gold garland-like necklace, holding a pink flower. A man in a cream turban and a gold brocade sherwani-style tunic with red sash stands at right, adjusting the goddess's veil and tying or arranging her gold necklace with both hands. Behind them are garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers and green leaves, with an ornate gold-framed canopy above. A partly visible figure in a blue garment and turban with a gold ornament appears at left edge. The scene suggests a thirukalyanam-style marriage ceremony.
