Daytime photograph of a tall white gopuram tower of a temple, its tiers densely carved with sculpted figures and deities, with bamboo scaffolding on its front. Atop the tower, on a wooden platform beneath a small domed kalasha-style finial and a red-and-white flag on a pole, a group of about eight people in white and orange clothing stand and work during the consecration. Brown rocky hills rise behind under a pale blue sky, and green trees frame the lower corners.
