Indoor ceremony in an ornate hall with gilded chandelier and a large carved golden throne-like seat on the left. A bare-chested man in red garments with tilak and red-and-gold garlands sits in front of the throne while a man with red tilak in orange-and-white clothing bends toward him. An older man in a white shirt and lanyard bows forward, holding marigold garlands. Behind them, several women in saris and kurtas, one holding a small child, stand near ornate ritual objects and pink flower garlands. No clear visible cue establishes who the seated figure is, so the a person candidacy is uncertain.
