A man stands barefoot on a red cushion atop a gilded stepped pedestal on a stage, arms raised with palms open and smiling upward. He wears a white turban with a red bindi, a rose-and-lavender embroidered sherwani-style robe, a gold necklace, and a long multi-coloured garland of white jasmine, red roses and purple flowers, with a grey-white shawl hanging at his side. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with carved lion-faced armrests and a gold umbrella canopy over the seat. Two women and a man are seated at the edges of the stage, and vases of flowers sit beside the throne. The man's appearance matches several cues for the page's a person, so he is identified as a probable in-person candidate.
