A covered white temple verandah with carved white pillars and a glossy red-brown floor. Three men are preparing for a festival: a man in a blue-grey shirt and dark trousers stands at left holding green leaves, a man in a white checked shirt and dark trousers stands in the centre, and a man in a white shirt crouches at lower right arranging leaves on the floor. Two tall cylindrical decorations hang on the right, patterned in red, blue, yellow and orange with bird motifs and orange fringes. Framed photographs hang along the top of the verandah, and a white plastic chair sits by the pillar. Green foliage and palm trees are visible beyond the railing.
