A photograph of a traditional Hindu wedding-style ritual in a temple hall. A bride in a green and gold silk sari and a groom in a white dhoti and cream shirt with a brown shawl sit side by side, both wearing red and yellow garlands and bangles. A woman in an orange-and-red sari stands between them pouring red kumkum liquid from a silver bowl, while an older woman in a yellow sari holds a silver plate. Behind them stands a colourful deity murti with a trident and a pink-cushioned platform, and a woman in a red sari watches from the back.

A seated bride in a teal and gold sari with a braided hair garland and a seated groom in a white and gold kurta with a red floral garland sit on a red-cushioned seat, with turmeric on their hands. A woman in an orange sari with gold border and white flower garland bends forward, holding a brass tray of rice.
