Photograph of the west tower entrance of a yellow-painted temple gateway, with a sign reading "West Tower Entrance" in English and Tamil above the dark passage. Leafy green garland-like foliage is strung across the top of the entrance. To the left, a blue signboard with red and white Tamil lettering marks a shrine, and a small iron-grilled window sits beside it. In the foreground, a blurred black auto-rickshaw canopy partly blocks the view. A man with a white-striped forehead and a striped shirt stands at the lower left near the steps, with a bag over his shoulder. Two other partial figures appear at the right edge. A blue information board with white text is mounted on the right side.
