Indoor photograph in a plain white-walled room with a tiled floor. A young man in an orange saffron turban, orange robe and layered rudraksha and white-flower garlands stands centre-left, smiling as a woman in an orange sari with gold border touches his shoulder. Behind him a younger man in orange and two women in orange saris hold brass trays of flowers and rose petals. A man in white shirt and white dhoti holds a tray with an offering. An oil lamp burns on the floor at lower right. The garlanded figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.
