Interior view looking up at a stone gateway of an ornately carved temple, with a tall open doorway flooded with bright light at the far end. Blue-framed metal gates are swung open on either side of the passage, and a grilled iron window sits above the opening. Carved stone pillars and sculpted brackets line the walls, and a single bare bulb hangs from a wire near the ceiling. A signboard on the left reads in Tamil about high quality gold items, and a painted sign on the right is partly visible. A panoramic virtual-tour overlay in the corner labels the site Arunachaleshwarar Temple, Thiruvannamalai, and a Tamil Nadu tourism logo appears in the lower right. No people are visible.
