[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at Thiruvanaikoil, Trichy, India.
This is one of the main Gopuram (or the Entrance tower) of the temple.
It is typical South Indian architecture.

The tower is carved with multitude of Gods & Goddesses of Hinduism.

The temple is about 1000 years old....

Hi Vijay,
Typical southern architecture but these Gopuram are so unique from temples found elsewhere in India. For a thousand year old temple it is very well maintained. Nice take against the blue sky.
Best Wishes
