Close-up photograph of a richly carved and painted gopuram or temple tower facade, dense with tiers of multicoloured sculpted figures in green, red, yellow and gold. Mythological deities, lions, and mythic beasts crowd the surface, with ornate cornices and scrollwork above. No people are visible in the frame, and no clearly identifiable a person figure appears in the scene.
