Photograph from a ceremony with a fan blowing in the background. In the foreground a figure in an orange-red turban, bare shoulders, orange-and-gold garment and heavy gold ornaments sits with their back to the camera. A man with short black hair, a red tilak on his forehead, a red-beaded mala and gold ornamentation sits beside them, looking to the left. Behind them several women in white clothes with red lanyards stand in a row. The turbaned figure's presentation with saffron-orange clothing and turban is noted only as an appearance cue; identity is uncertain.
