A red-washed building doorway decorated with a strand of orange marigold garlands and green mango leaves across the top, with white rangoli-style kolam line patterns running down both door posts. Two women stand at the entrance: a woman in a red kurta and turquoise leggings holds a small brass plate with fruit, and a second woman in a pink and white sari holds green leaves. The doorway opens onto an empty room with a barred window. A tree overhangs the left side and the ground is concrete.
