Photograph of a ceremony held under a white tent. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man with a tilak mark on his forehead wears an orange-red robe and a red shawl, standing beside a woman with long dark wavy hair in an orange garment. Behind a brass railing, a copper-topped fire vessel with a lit candle or flame stands near ritual trays and white ash. Other people in orange, maroon and white clothing sit or stand around the scene, and a photographer holding a camera appears at the right edge. A purple bird logo sits in the top-left corner.
