The stock image features a small Terracotta figurine, standing at approximately six inches in height. The figurine represents a group of six Indian musicians, forming a musical band. They are depicted wearing vibrant red shirts, blue pants, and green turbans or headgear with a red border. The figurine stands on a green platform. Each musician is holding a distinct musical instrument, including bagpipes, a wooden bansuri (flute), a dholak (two-headed drum), a shehnai (a traditional wind instrument), and kartal or gini (a pair of clash cymbals). The Indian national flag is prominently displayed in the same order as the band members and their instruments.The image portrays the significance of music in Indian weddings, symbolizing the enduring union of two individuals. In Indian culture, music holds a special place in various wedding ceremonies and events. Each state has its own unique wedding music and rituals, while every region has its own folk music traditions. Different songs are appropriate for each ritual and wedding occasion. For instance, there are specific songs for pre-wedding events like Mehendi, Haldi, and Sangeet, as well as songs dedicated to wedding ceremonies such as the bride's entrance, garlands ceremony, and bidaai (farewell). The musical instruments used during these ceremonies add to the beauty and ambiance of the songs performed. Many of these instruments have ancient origins, further highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Indian marriage bands.
