A wedding ceremony in a decorated hall with white drapery and tall floral arrangements. In the centre a figure wearing an orange-and-gold turban, a gold-trimmed saffron wrap and a long garland of pink and white flowers stands facing a bride in a deep orange and gold sari with a matching garland and bangles. Beside her a man in white dhoti and shawl, also garlanded, kneels by a brass kalasha and small brass oil lamps on a red cloth. A man in a green-and-gold shawl and white dhoti stands at right, and several guests in saffron, white and green sari crowd the background. The figure in the turban has no distinctive presentation cues to confirm the page's a person claim, so the identity is left unsure. Visible: wedding ritual with kalasha and lamps, saffron-clad guests, garlands and bridal finery.
