A photograph of a large crowd gathered outside the white gopuram of a South Indian temple under a pale blue sky. The tall tower is covered in carved sculptures, with scaffolding and colourful garlands draped along its face, and a small shrine stands at its base. Dense crowds of devotees in saris, dhotis and shirts in many colours press along a walkway and up stone steps toward an open shrine entrance. A large green tree shades the left side, and a pink-walled terrace with cables runs along the right edge. Several people in white and orange clothing move through the throng.
