Three people stand in front of a temple shrine with painted pillars and deity statues, a bell hanging behind. The man on the left wears a red sherwani with a white flower garland and holds a round flower-decorated plate. The central figure in a brown dhoti with gold border and a long red-and-white garland, plus a heavy gold necklace, waves his right hand in blessing; his appearance is consistent with a saffron-brown robed figure but the identity is uncertain. The woman on the right wears a red silk sari with gold zari and a white flower garland, holding a small decorated tray. Fruit offerings including grapes, pomegranates, melons and mangoes are arranged on brass plates before them, with a golden pedestal beneath.

In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears an orange-brown robe, a gold waist sash, a multi-strand gold necklace and a long red-berry garland, raising one hand in blessing. Standing to his left, a man in a red silk jacket with white and red flower garlands and a cream shawl smiles. To his right, a woman in a red and gold silk sari with gold jewellery and bangles holds a white flower garland, also wearing a red flower garland. Behind them, two women in orange-brown saris stand at the edges. In the foreground, a ritual offering spread shows grapes, pomegranates, bananas, apples, and fruit platters, with a sweet box. The scene looks like a temple blessing at a wedding or engagement.2013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19A photograph of five people posing together before a golden throne-like seat in a temple shrine with painted blue-and-gold walls and colourful deity statues flanking them. At centre, a man in a brown-orange ochre garment with a gold border and a long multi-strand red and white flower garland stands raising one hand in a blessing gesture; the Swamiji (probable) cues are the swept-back long hair and the ornate gold necklace with saffron-ochre clothing, and he is the candidate in_person. To his left, a groom in a red silk shirt with gold border and a white flower garland stands beside a man in white shirt and trousers with a dark mala. To his right, a bride in a red and maroon silk sari with a white flower garland holds a decorated plate, and a pineapple offering sits in front. Two tall orange-painted deity statues with multiple arms stand on either side.2013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19June 19 20132013-06-19
