Close view of a traditional wooden building roof with a steep gable and tiled sloping roof in weathered reddish-brown terracotta tiles. The lower storey shows a carved wooden balcony or eave with ornamental brackets and a pierced wooden railing. A thin metal finial rises from the left roof edge against pale sky, and a palm tree appears at the right edge. No people are visible.

Wooden palace architecture against a pale sky: a carved timber gable with turned pillars at left, and a projecting octagonal wooden bay window with arched opening and carved corbel below, set along a long wall of vertical wooden slats and tiled roofing. The paved courtyard floor of terracotta tiles is in the foreground. No people are visible. Architecture resembles traditional Kerala palace woodwork.
