A photograph of an empty ornate temple-style veranda. In the foreground a black stone lion sculpture sits atop a white pedestal, with a small black stone object beside it. Behind, a white pillar wrapped with a painted colourful cloth band and a white carved sculpture of a figure stand near the edge. A framed mirror on the wall reflects a ceiling fan and carved white ceiling. The polished dark floor reflects the columns, and white balustrades and potted plants lie beyond the open archway.
