A bride in an orange and gold embroidered sari with henna-decorated hands rests her hands together with a groom in a beige silk kurta, a silver wristwatch and a red thread on his wrist. Both sit on a yellow-cushioned platform. Red and yellow flower petals and a red and white flower garland are scattered around, with silver oil lamps with white jasmine garlands at the left and right edges. A red garland with white flowers drapes the groom's shoulder. The scene is set on a striped blue and red floor cloth.

The foreground hand is dark-skinned, and a person in a red garment with pink flowers is visible at the lower right.

A hand wearing a dark rudraksha mala bracelet arranges petals and a green leaf on a brass plate of red and yellow flower petals, with a yellow flower prominent. Nearby are brass oil lamps with a lit flame, a brass bell, a brass kalasha-style vessel, a bowl of rice with turmeric, a brass lota, and an incense stick. Scattered petals lie on the cloth. No faces are visible, so the identity of the person performing the puja cannot be determined from this image.
