A blurred photograph taken through a vehicle window of a long, low stone wall with rounded bastion-like towers, partly overgrown with green shrubs in the foreground. Dense dark trees line the top of the wall against a pale hazy sky, and a grey road edge runs along the bottom of the frame. No people are visible in the scene.

A dim dusk or early-morning photo taken through a window, showing a high stone boundary wall with a temple gopuram tower rising above dark trees against a pale blue sky. Overhead power lines cross the sky and a tree branch frames the upper right corner. No people are visible; the scene is a distant temple view from a moving vehicle.

Hazy sunrise over a temple compound. A pale gopuram tower rises in the background behind a long wall topped with a row of carved stone lion or animal heads. A sun glows orange through the haze above overhead wires and trees on the right. In the lower right foreground, a small group of people in white clothes walks along a path beside a wall and a shelter with a tin roof, with a figure in a dark garment in the foreground. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible.

A photograph of a tall, tiered white gopuram, a South Indian temple tower, rising above a flat town of low buildings, palm trees and green foliage. Its many carved stone tiers are covered in sculpted figures and niches, topped by a domed crown with a small spire at the summit. Hazy grey sky and distant hills frame the scene; no people are visible.

Exterior view of a South Indian temple complex at dusk under a pale blue sky. A tall, heavily carved gopuram (gateway tower) with tiered sculpted figures dominates the left, with a second smaller gopuram visible behind a long plastered wall on the right. A small shrine with blue-green roof and a stone lion figure sits at lower left, and a blue-roofed shrine canopy stands in front of the wall. Trees rise beside the wall. No people are clearly visible.

A photograph of a tall, pale white gopuram, the tiered entrance tower of a South Indian temple, rising against an overcast sky. Its facade is densely carved with rows of niches, small shrine motifs and sculpted figures, and its top is crowned with a row of finial spires and a sculpted kalasha-like ornament. Green tree foliage stands in front of the lower tower, and a dark roadside billboard with a red-and-white border runs along the bottom edge. No people are visible in the scene.
