A photograph of a seated figure on a stone platform in front of draped pink, yellow and silver fabric. The figure wears a white turban with a striped band and a silver-and-gold ornament, a yellow and red marigold garland, and white clothing with teal and striped borders. Beside it, a second seated figure in white with a marigold garland is partly visible at the right edge, and a bit of red cloth lies on the ground at the bottom. Only the upper bodies of these figures are visible, and they appear to be statues or figures rather than living people. The hazy, washed-out image is partly obscured by a semi-transparent overlay.
