A Reddit post with a wall with a black stain and the caption

Matthieu Salvaing, Chandigarh, Neelam Cinema, designed by Aditya Prakash in the early 1950s —color photo of interior of theatre, with turquoise square wall tiles. A large decorative application on the wall in silver of a stylized sound wave. Rows of turquoise seats with brown armrests. Stunning space.
