A photograph of a traditional engagement-style ritual indoors. A smiling woman in a red and gold checked silk sari with gold bangles and flower garlands sits cross-legged on a mat, holding a small offering. Beside her, a man in a red kurta with a white shawl and garland holds flowers and sits near a red velvet throne with gold trim. On the right, a person in an orange-brown robe with red garlands and gold bangles arranges offerings on a banana leaf placed on a gold-trimmed low table. More banana leaves hold coconut, bananas, turmeric-coloured items and sweets on the floor. Behind them, a backdrop shows a painted tree and a decorated deity murti with yellow and orange garlands.
