Night-time photo of a seated figure in a red turban and red-and-orange clothing, wearing a thick multicolour flower garland of orange, green, white and red blossoms, sitting on a red tiger-striped cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne back. Holding small yellow printed cards, the figure smiles at a young woman in a white blouse and white sari with red coral beads and gold earrings, who is holding a yellow card and speaking. Behind them stand a woman with a white tilak on her forehead, a banana-leaf backdrop and a hanging red, orange and cream embroidered cloth. Golden ceremonial metalwork is visible at the lower centre. Visible appearance cues are a turban and garland rather than the distinctive long hair or saffron ornaments needed to confirm the page's a person claim, so the seated figure is described by role only.
