Exterior of a white temple complex seen from a low angle against a pale sky. A tall, tiered white gopuram tower with carved niches rises on the right, with a smaller domed shrine beside it. On the left, a covered open portico with grey-blue pillars topped by carved rearing lion or yali brackets shelters a pale-walled hall with framed panels. Four small red-and-cream signboards with carved emblems sit on the roof, and a black stone boundary wall runs along the bottom edge. No people are visible.
