A black-and-white photograph of a tall South Indian temple gopuram, a multi-tiered gateway tower densely covered with carved sculptural figures in horizontal rows. Rounded finials and a small kalasha-like pinnacle crown the top tier, and a cloudy sky sits behind it. Small white statues or lion-like figures stand on the base in the foreground, and a thin metal pole or railing is visible at the left edge. No people are visible.

In the foreground, thatched-roof huts and palm trees line a dusty open ground. Several figures in plain white dhotis and wraps walk across the open ground, including a child at lower left and an adult at lower right.
