A photograph inside a richly painted temple-style hall with turquoise, pink and gold ornamental carving. A person in a rust-red dhoti-style garment with a gold waist belt and a pink-and-white flower garland stands on a raised platform, placing one hand on the head of a bride. The bride, in a blue and gold silk sari with bangles and a red bindi, presses her palms together with eyes closed. Beside her, a groom in a cream embroidered silk kurta with a red flower garland bows with folded hands, his forehead marked with turmeric paste. Several onlookers stand behind them. The standing figure is a blessing officiant; the appearance is not clearly enough to attribute to any named person, so the role alone is given.
