A photograph of a long, wide granite staircase leading up toward a temple gateway on a hillside under a cloudy blue sky. Pink domed pavilions with pillars and railings line both sides of the steps. A few people walk up and down the steps, including a woman in an orange sari and another in a light top and dark trousers, while stray dogs roam the lower steps. Scaffolding covers part of the gateway structure, and a blue tarpaulin hangs from a pavilion.
