A white-walled colonnaded veranda of a house with arched stained-glass windows in blue, red and green, and two framed gold-and-white emblem pictures on the wall. Potted palms line the front, and a decorative kolam floor pattern is drawn on the ground. Through the arches, a white-clad man is seen near a doorway, and a second man in a white shirt walks at the right edge. A small white figure stands further back, possibly a statue, and a pendant lamp hangs from the ceiling.
