The architectural style of the pillar is also a very close match to those found in the central baradari (pavilion) at Hiran Minar, another significant Mughal site located near Lahore in Sheikhupura. The ethnicity and clothing of the people in the photo would be equally appropriate for this location. While Hiran Minar's pavilion is famously situated in a large water tank, the photo's angle might obscure this feature, showing only the surrounding parkland.

The general scene could also be placed in a historical site in Northern India, such as Delhi or Agra. The clothing and ethnicity are common there. Mughal and Sultanate-era sites, like the complex around Humayun's Tomb or Mehrauli Archaeological Park, feature similar architectural elements. The small red mark on the subject's forehead could be interpreted as a tilak, pointing towards India. However, the specific yellowish color and rustic texture of the pillar are a stronger match for sites in Pakistan's Punjab region, as many Delhi monuments prominently feature red sandstone or grey quartzite.
