A wedding-style ceremony on a stage with red and pink floral garlands. A couple sits side by side on ornate red-cushioned thrones: the bride in a teal and blue silk sari with a long braid and jasmine flowers, the groom in a cream kurta with a gold-brown shawl and rudraksha mala. A woman in a yellow and gold sari stands before them, holding their hands. Behind them stands a painted deity figure with a mace, multicoloured pillars and a wall with a brass oil lamp to the right. Garlands of red flowers hang around both seated people.
