Throne to be thrown?

I have these mini-conspiracy theories why some of these lowly things happen. For example, when someone wears shoes more often than I think is necessary, I believe that person is ashamed of his/her feet.

Likewise, unusual about the participant chairs at The Royal Ballroom at The Leela Palace in Bangalore was the fact that they were all covered with white sheets. Why would they do that?

Unless they have something to hide. It is likely that all chairs are not uniform and to bring in that uniformity they have draped them in white. Or, they have been pilfered from somewhere and the origin needs to be hidden.

Or, as a matter of precaution, to limit the damage caused by white-collared, genteel seminar attendees who might go on the rampage and rip the seats if they don't like the seminars the way our dissatisfied movie fans rip the theatre seats when their hero dies, the powers-that-be at Leela might have decided to cover the soft, velveteen chairs (we assume they are soft and velveteen, no one has seen them) with thick white sheets.

Also, the soft fabric of the thick sheets makes it difficult for the chairs to be grabbed and lifted in case the seminar attendees want to throw the chairs at each other when they come to blows while discussing the merits of non-violence.
