A photograph of a tall, richly painted South Indian gopuram, the tiered temple gateway tower, covered in stacked sculptures of deities and mythical figures in red, green, blue, yellow and white. The stone base is carved with figures in ochre tones. In the lower right, a striped red-and-white barrier wall runs beside the tower, and the bald head of a person is partly visible at the bottom edge. A bright blue sky fills the upper left, with a small dark bird in flight.
