The young man is seated on a brown elephant that is tinted black and is heavily decorated with scarlet red and golden patterned velvet saddlecloth that compliments her heavy jewelry and tiny bells that chime around her neck while her anklets ring as she walks gracefully. Gold plated heavy metal howdah sets over the elephant back, as she not only bears the weight of the prince but a driver who is dressed in a tantalizing purple jama with lovely jewels laden across him as well as a pale-complexioned guard who is dressed in a tree green dress that contrasts with his lapis blue turban.
The cheerful cavalcade is painted in vibrant colors with illuminative lamps, ivory green drop-down umbrellas, and colorful flags. The participants hold gadas and play musical tunes in celebration and elation as the sky fills with silent sparks that break in a thousand particles to produce exquisite fireworks that light up the dark background. In this beautiful scene, the prince is captured to suppress his contentment with his grim expression as he will finally be hitched with his lover. This Mughal Painting is a proof of utmost love and celebration, bewitching the onlookers in its charm.
