Photograph of the gopuram (temple tower) of the Arunachaleshwara Temple in Tiruvannamalai, its white-painted tiered tower rising above a long colonnade of pillars, with palm trees and the green hill of Arunachala behind it under a cloud drifting over the peak. A tall white street lamp stands at left, strings of small lights cross the blue sky, and a red-and-white striped canopy shelters a stall at right. Some fabric stalls and metal barricades are set up in the courtyard in the foreground. No people are visible.
