A Hindu wedding ritual indoors before white draped curtains and hanging red and yellow flowers. A seated bride in a red-orange silk sari with gold bangles and a flower garland sits beside a groom in white dhoti and shawl with a pink and white garland. Two women in green and gold and in gold and mauve saris bend in to pour or apply water and turmeric from a silver plate. A girl in a pink dress and a woman in red stand behind, and a bare-chested priest with a gold chain sits at lower left beside a brass oil lamp. The groom appears to be a family member at a wedding ceremony, not a person identified as a person.
