A photograph taken at an indoor ceremony on a ship-like setting with warm lights and a white curtain. A man with short grey hair, wearing a white kurta-style shirt and white dhoti with a red shawl draped over his shoulders, raises his palm while a seated person in a tiger-striped garment with pearl necklaces, red floral garlands and gold bangles reaches out and touches his forehead. The seated figure, dressed in tiger-print cloth and a bold robe, appears to be giving a blessing or tilak. Behind them, people in white and red shawls stand, and a photographer with a camera stands at the top. A brass oil lamp and gold vessels are visible at lower right.
