A photograph of a couples-day ceremony in an indoor hall. A man in a white silk shirt and cream silk dhoti with a gold border stands barefoot, bending forward with his hand resting on the head of a woman kneeling at his feet, who wears an orange and gold silk sari and a yellow marigold garland. Beside them stands a smiling woman in a magenta and maroon silk sari with gold bangles and a yellow garland, and behind her a bearded man in a pale green kurta with a yellow garland. Other garlanded people in white and green clothing are visible at the edges, and marigold petals lie on the floor. The scene reflects a ritual blessing between spouses, with no identifiable a person depicted.
