A large pink and white banner above reads in Tamil and English about Ananda Spurana, a meditation session held on the fourth Saturday and Sunday each month; the banner shows a smiling figure in orange and saffron robes with a turban and red forehead mark. Two framed portraits of a figure in saffron and white are displayed on the wall and on a black board stand. A bare brick pillar, a bicycle, banana plants and a tree stand in the yard.
