Outdoor ceremony on a mat-covered courtyard under a partly cloudy sky with palm and leafy trees behind. Several bare-chested men in orange-red dhotis and shawls raise a long red-and-white striped pole upward, one man in a white dhoti with gold border stands at the left holding the pole. A red and gold embroidered canopy with tassels hangs near the pole. A row of women and girls in orange-red saris and gold necklaces stands in the background, and a metal vessel sits on the mat at lower right. One man wears a flower garland and another a long beaded chain.
