Night photograph of a multi-storey building front decorated with strings of red, green, yellow and blue fairy lights hanging down the facade. A very large printed banner covers the building, showing a smiling man in a light turban and dark high-collared garment with ornate embroidered trim, his face and shoulders prominent. The banner is a depiction on printed material and does not show a physical person; no people are visible in the scene. Tamil text appears in a header panel above the portrait and a caption runs along the bottom edge. A bright sign at the upper right reads SLF. Windows and an arched doorway are visible at the lower left.
