Photograph of a grey stone temple gateway (gopuram-style entrance) with carved sculptures of figures and pillars along its upper facade, painted in faded colours. Several men stand and sit in the passageway beneath the gate, one in a white shirt and trousers, another in a blue shirt; bicycles and a few sandals rest near the entrance. Paper posters are pasted on the pillars, and a reflection of a person appears across the glass in front of the lens. No identifiable a person candidate is visible, so the a person field is none.
