A photograph of a wedding-style ceremony seated on gold-framed chairs with red upholstery in front of a painted mural of a deity. A bride in a green and gold silk sari and a groom in a cream sherwani sit side by side, both wearing red and white flower garlands and yellow turmeric on their faces and hands. A woman in a blue and gold sari and a woman in an orange sari stand beside them, applying turmeric or blessing them, and children in red and white dresses watch nearby. No physical a person candidate is visible, so no appearance-based identification is made.

He wears a white dhoti and white shawl with a gold border, a multicolour flower garland, and gold bangles, and he is smiling and gesturing with one hand. Two women sit at the right on a white-draped platform with flower petals scattered on the floor; one wears an orange shawl and the other a white top with a long braid. Visible in the image are two dark-haired women and the seated man.
