Exterior of a tall, richly carved sandstone temple gateway tower (gopuram) with tiers of sculpted niches, figures and small shrines, topped by finials and a bird sculpture. A stone archway sits at the lower left, and a few small figures walk near the base. A smaller distant temple tower rises at the right under a pale sky. A low brick wall and a leafy tree stand in the foreground, with a metal lamp post at the left edge. Several small people are visible near the archway and at the wall, but they are too small to count with certainty.
