A Hindu wedding ceremony indoors under white draped fabric. A seated bride in a red-orange silk sari with gold jewellery and a pink and white garland smiles beside the groom, who wears a white dhoti and shawl with a white and green garland and a head cloth. Terracotta pots decorated with yellow and red flowers stand in front of them, and a tall brass oil lamp with burning wicks is at the left. A man in a white dhoti pours or sprinkles from a small vessel near the groom's head, an older man in white stands at the right, and a priest in a green shawl with bare chest sits at the left near lamps and coconuts. Several family members in saffron, pink, green and blue saris and white attire watch nearby.
