A bride in a green and gold sari and a groom in a maroon sari-style garment stand together near the altar. Seated guests in purple, maroon and white clothes watch and pray. Brass oil lamps, clay pots, a brass kalasha and banana-leaf offerings with flowers sit on the floor in front of them. Priests in white dhotis and saffron robes perform the rites, and a man in a white dhoti and shawl stands nearby. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
