A photograph of a large open courtyard paved with pale stone tiles, lit by low evening sunlight that casts long shadows across the floor. Along the left side stands a long colonnade of pillars with orange and white bands and cream-painted walls, topped by a roofline with small decorative finials. Two people walk away from the camera across the courtyard: a woman in an orange sari and a man in a white kurta and white dhoti. A few small dark marks are scattered on the tiles.
