View of a large, nine-tiered gopura, or gate pyramid, at a temple complex in Kanchipuram. The gate pyramid is decorated with ornately carved statues of Hindu deities. The temple tank sits in the foreground, with a kiosk of carved pillars and an ornately carved, bell-shaped, domed roof at the center of the pool. Several people are visible on the stepwell leading down to the water.
