Black-and-white photograph of a tall, ornately sculpted gopuram of the Arunachaleshwara temple in Tiruvannamalai, its tiers covered in rows of carved deity and figure sculptures, with a rocky hill rising behind it on the left. A small framed portrait sits in the lower-left corner: a older man with short grey hair and a light-coloured shirt, shown against a blue backdrop with a garland of marigold-yellow flowers draped over his shoulders. No physical people are visible in the main scene, and the portrait is a printed photograph, so no in-person candidate is present. The portrait carries no readable caption.
