A photograph of a tall, richly painted gopuram, the entrance tower of a South Indian temple, rising in tiers above a gateway. Its surface is crowded with colourful sculpted figures of deities and mythic beings in red, blue, yellow and green. Below, a busy street runs in front of the gate, with parked white and silver cars, auto-rickshaws and a few pedestrians, including a woman in a purple sari and people carrying umbrellas. A rocky granite hill rises behind the tower.
