A photograph of a person standing barefoot on a striped mat beside a tree trunk wrapped in pink flowers and vines. The standing person wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a gold waist-length necklace, gold armlet and bangles, and a white vibhuti band with a red bindi. Layered garlands of white jasmine, red and orange flowers, yellow marigolds and green leaves hang from the neck to the knees. Behind, a man in white dhoti with a mala holds his hands together in prayer, and another man in a dark red dhoti with gold necklaces stands near a red-and-white painted post. Red sand and scattered petals cover the ground. Some cues suggest the presence of a person candidate, but the appearance is uncertain, so the figure is described by role only.
