A photograph of a traditional Kerala-style palace complex with a sloping terracotta-tiled roof, wooden gabled facade and whitewashed walls, set on a grassy courtyard with a concrete path. Several men walk away from the camera along the path: a figure in the centre wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the upper body and is bare-chested with a long garland, while others in white dhotis walk alongside, one carrying a dark bag. Trees frame the upper corners under a pale blue sky.
