Outdoor ceremony on a red carpet under a decorated canopy with marigold and banana-leaf garlands. A woman in saffron robes with a long dark braid and a gold-bordered shawl stands on a patterned rug, a red-and-white flower garland around her neck. An older man in white kurta and dhoti bends low to touch her feet in respect. Nearby, men in saffron dhotis wear rudraksha malas, one holding a long staff, while a man in white holds a trident-tipped rod and another in white shirt stands watching. Onlookers sit at the edge of the stage.
