A photograph looking up at the tall, whitewashed gopuram (temple tower) of the Arunachaleshwara Temple in Tiruvannamalai. The tower is densely covered with tiers of carved sculptures, niches and miniature shrine motifs, with figures of deities and attendants in the central recesses. A dark stone base with a barred doorway sits at the bottom, a palm tree and utility wires frame the left edge, and a cloudy sky with a bright sun patch fills the background. No people are visible in the scene.
