A woman in an orange blouse and orange-red shawl with a flower garland sits smiling on a patterned rug, facing a crowd. Around her, men in white dhotis and shirts and others in saffron-orange robes stand close, some holding a camera. A man in white stands at the door behind her, and a barefoot man in white kneels nearby.

A figure with long dark hair in an orange-saffron robe sits on a raised white seat, which the page links to a person; the robe colour and seated position are the visible cues, so the identity remains uncertain. Around the stage, men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and one bends forward toward the seat, a woman in a blue blouse and white sari with a jasmine-garlanded braid faces the stage, and other women in white saris with long braids stand in the foreground. Two wall-mounted air coolers sit at either side of the stage, with palm trees behind.2008-05-19A photograph of an outdoor ceremony under a corrugated metal roof supported by bamboo poles.
