None of the parents attend the ceremony. Instead, Pai's girlfriends raucously lead her (hidden under a shawl, shown here) to the Town Hall, where she and Baba sign their marriage license alone with the mayor.

Monasteries are being restored and are once again crowded with worshipers. Material World Project.
