Parāśara
Scene: A Vedic yajña pavilion: ṛtvij priest near the fire; the bride is given with water-libation; nearby a pair of cows symbolizing Ārṣa acceptance; subtle depiction of ancestors receiving light/offerings to indicate generational benefit.
Different marriage forms carry different ethical weights and spiritual consequences, measured in protection and purification of lineage.
No tīrtha is specified; the setting is ritual culture (yajña) rather than sacred geography.
Daiva: giving the bride to an officiating priest; Ārṣa: accepting a pair of cows from the groom as part of the arrangement.
