A white stone temple gopuram with tiered carved figures rises above a doorway decorated with marigold garlands and a hanging floral ball. In front, a group of men in white dhotis and shirts stand on the steps, while two saffron-robed figures in the foreground walk out of the temple entrance. One wears a saffron robe and garlands and carries a bunch of items, with a white-clad attendant beside. Footwear lies scattered on the ground and a woman in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. Blue sky frames the tower.
