Welcome to TE Nidhi
A good entry with these colors of India, the photo here is rather small, I belive it would impress more would a bigger size. Don't forget the note as well, a good way to lead people in to your shot.
Nicely done, an excellent portrait of this evenment.

very nice, interesting ceremony and moment. Nice to see that I'm not the only one showing pictures from Chattisgarh, for me personally forgotten jewel of India ;)

Hi Nidhi,
An excellent shot that introduces people to the customs of India. Nice POV and colours. Wish the picture were a little bit bigger and you had a bit more informative notes. But i guess you will slowly learn like me. Hope i will be able to takes some good ones like this when I visit my uncle in Raipur.
See you around

Nidhi, all your pictures are very colorful. This is what I like in India. And it is perfectly reflected in your camera.

Hats off !

Fantastic colors and textures. The clarity of the portrait is wonderful. The groom to be, looks a little worried. Well done.
