Interior view looking up at a red-painted sloping roof structure with exposed wooden or metal rafters and battens running diagonally across the ceiling. Two long fluorescent tube lights are mounted on thin metal rods, and cobwebs hang near the upper left. No people, deities or ritual objects are visible; the scene shows only the architecture of the hall ceiling.

Dried palm-leaf or grass thatch covers the roof and its interior. A pale vertical pole runs diagonally through the frame. Two figures are visible near the opening: one in a blue and orange garment seated at the top edge, and another partly visible on the left, apparently working on the roof structure. Light pours through the open crown of the roof.2010-07-22December 25 20082008-12-25November 10 20062006-11-10January 15 20092009-01-15
