A large crowd of devotees fills the courtyard in front of a tall, white gopuram (temple tower) of the Arunachaleshwara temple at Tiruvannamalai, its carved tiers partly wrapped in scaffolding and draped with flower garlands. Men in white and many women in colourful saris press forward near a pink-walled shrine entrance with decorated gates. A large tree shades the left side and a hill rises behind the tower. A man in a light shirt stands on a raised terrace at the right edge. No a person is visibly identifiable in the crowd from this view.
