A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a flower-decorated hall. A man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala and gold bangle stands at left with palms pressed together in greeting. A woman in a green sari with a flower-adorned braid and gold earrings holds a baby dressed in white and orange. At right, a smiling figure with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange robe, wearing layered garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, holds a folded white paper. Behind them are green foliage, orange and pink flowers and a golden decorated throne. The a person identity is an appearance-based probable candidate, so the a person field is set to unsure.
