A marriage ceremony outdoors before a temple shrine with carved stone pillars and a deity murti at upper right. A tall figure in an orange-saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair and white flower garlands stands at centre, apparently officiating; the appearance matches a person in saffron with long hair, though the image is not decisive. To his left an older woman in a white sari with white garland presses her palms together. A bride in a bright orange-yellow sari with gold jewellery and red-and-white garlands stands beside a groom in white dhoti and shirt with garland. A woman in a dark red sari with gold border garlands the bride, and an older man in white shirt and dhoti with pink and green garland stands at right. Several other men in white stand behind. A painted wall pillar with blue and red motifs appears at left.
