A photograph of a large stone temple gopuram wrapped in bamboo scaffolding, with an open dusty courtyard in front. A group of about a dozen people stands near the tower's entrance: several men in orange saffron robes and turbans, a few in white dhotis and shirts, and two uniformed police officers in khaki. A man in a light green shirt stands at the center facing the group. A small domed shrine structure and a stone pavilion with carved panels stand at the left, and a green tree and old brick building are on the right. A small utility pole rises at far left.
