Outdoor ceremony under a pink-draped tent with a red carpet. A long-haired man in white and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold necklace and red-cushioned seat, sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with purple and yellow flower garlands, raising one hand in blessing. Before him a young man in white kneels with palms pressed together. Women in white saris with gold borders stand with hands folded; a man in white kurta stands behind, and a man in orange shawl stands at the rear. A brass vessel sits near the throne. The man on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and a gold-bordered wrap, which is a person appearance cue; the throne and ceremony are visible but identity is appearance-based.
