A photograph of a tall, ornately sculpted white gopuram, the tiered entrance tower of a South Indian temple, rising above a street scene. Its face is densely carved with rows of deity and figure reliefs, topped by small finials. In the foreground, a white vehicle stands at the left beside a stall display of flowers, fruit and offerings laid out on a low platform, and a white shrine-like structure sits at the gate. A palm tree grows beside the tower, with overhead power lines crossing the sky. No people are clearly visible.
