A colourful decorated festival entrance arch stands on a dusty open ground under a hazy pale sky with palm trees behind. The arch is covered in yellow, pink, purple, green and black patterned panels with lettering reading NITHYANANDAM above ANANDOTSAVA 2010 and HEARTY WELCOME on the arcs. A small portrait is set in the top centre beneath an Om symbol. Two side pillars feature striped and flame-like designs with hanging garlands. A silver sedan is parked at the left, and a few scattered tools and construction debris lie on the ground to the right. No people are visible.
