The person wears a white embroidered kurta with gold thread patterns and a sheer cream shawl draped over the shoulders, and has a red tilak mark on the forehead. One hand is raised to the face in a relaxed gesture. Garlands of marigolds and white flowers hang near the throne, and a dark purple curtain forms the backdrop with a white fan visible at the lower left.

A crimson cloth and gold cushion sit nearby, and a silver tray holds papers.

He wears a white kurta with gold embroidered placket and a red-and-gold bordered white shawl draped over his lap. Behind him hang red and magenta silk drapes, and an ornate gold-and-tan brocade cushion rests against the chair. Yellow roses and white flowers stand at the left edge, and printed prayer cards lie on the chair's arm. Appearance cues are long hair, white and gold clothing and a mostly unreserved presentation, so the candidate is a person but identity is uncertain.2006-04-06
