I first noticed the model father and child figure outside, which is quite eye-catching. Then I caught the swastika welcome sign in the window, an unusual concept to many western people in the light of 20th century European history but a reminder that the swastika (svastika in Sanskrit) is an ancient Indian sign of auspiciousness and luck, without any political overtones.
