A person in an orange saffron robe stands in the doorway of a white-walled building, wearing a long double garland of red and white flowers around the neck. The figure has long dark hair swept back and stands with hands clasped near the waist. Potted plants with orange flowers sit on a low red-brown platform beside the door, and a metal plate lies on the path. Two women in saris stand at left near the walkway, and a man in an orange shirt is visible further back. A palm tree and climbing vine frame the scene in bright daylight.
