Photograph of a large temple gopuram at dusk, its tiered tower covered in white and cream sculpted figures and decorative motifs, rising above a yellow-walled temple compound. In the open paved plaza in front, a few dozen-or-fewer people walk about in saris, dhotis and casual clothes, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti stands at right, and small roadside stalls with awnings and goods line the left edge. Tall street lamp and leafy trees frame the scene against a pale evening sky.
