A Hindu wedding ritual in a decorated hall with pale draped curtains and hanging orchids and heliconia. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti sits center-left, holding a brass oil lamp and grass toward a seated bride in a red-and-gold sari with flower garlands and gold jewellery, beside a groom in white with a pink and white garland. Clay pots with a sprig of greenery sit in front, along with a brass lamp and banana leaf offerings. A woman in a green sari and a woman in a red-gold sari stand behind, and seated guests in white and maroon watch. No a person candidate is visible; people wear white ritual clothes and roles are priest, bride, groom and guests.
