A dim stone pillared hall viewed from inside, with a dark raised stone platform in the foreground. Through the wide central opening, a dirt path runs between tall coconut palms toward a distant white building, flanked by leafy shrubs. Two or three small figures stand or sit far off along the path, too small to distinguish. No deity, ritual or identifiable ceremony is visible.
