A framed painting of Ganesha hangs on the cream wall, and a carved yellow doorframe with a window frames the right side.

The doorway is covered by a thatched palm-leaf canopy decorated with orange and green paper festoons and banana stalks. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand behind, one holding a basket and another with raised hands. Scattered red rose petals lie on a white cloth at the threshold, and a small kalasha-like pot with flowers sits in a window niche.
