To the right, a smaller banner shows a figure in a white turban and dark clothing, and a poster is attached to the pillar. Several people in white clothes stand near the gate, and a blurred figure in the lower foreground is partly visible. Foliage fills the background.

A white banner hangs across the gateway's arch, showing a portrait of a person in white headwear and a white robe above Tamil text announcing a satsang programme. Banana plants flank the gateway pillars, and a second banner hangs at the right with a portrait of a person in a white turban.
