Photograph of a festive temple-style gathering under a canopy of yellow, orange and white flowers over red and pink draped cloth. A young man seated on an ornate gilded throne wears a saffron-orange garment over a red top and has a vermilion mark on his forehead; he clasps the hands of a woman in a purple blouse and pink patterned sari. Nearby women in white saris with gold borders and yellow shawls stand and watch, and a woman in white touches the purple-blouse woman's shoulder. Garlands of marigolds hang along the canopy edge, and a white-shirted attendant stands at the right edge.
