This painting depicts a close-up view of the hands of the bride and groom, drawn in black charcoal and rendered in grayscale. The hands are clasped together and holding a single candle, which they are using to light two smaller candles in the foreground of the painting. The lighting of the candles symbolizes the union of the two individuals and their families. 

In the background of the painting, there is a traditional gold vase adorned with white flowers, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall composition.  The bride is depicted wearing traditional jewellery, which is a key element in Sri Lankan wedding attire. The intricate details of the jewellery add to the richness and beauty of the artwork.

Furthermore, the painting also features henna art, which is a customary element of Sri Lankan weddings. The henna art adds an element of cultural authenticity to the painting.

Overall, this mixed media painting captures the beauty, richness, and cultural significance of a traditional Sri Lankan wedding.  The use of black charcoal in the rendering of the hands, and the grayscale colour palette, adds a sense of drama and intensity to the painting, while the inclusion of traditional elements such as the vase, flowers, jewellery, and henna art, creates a sense of authenticity and cultural richness.
