THE SOUTHERN GOPURAM AT MADURA 



There are nine of these gateways, or gopiirams, at Madura, the largest of which is 156 

 feet high. Built over great archways 60 feet in height, these gopurams are bewildering 

 masses of color, for each statue is painted, whitewashed, or gilded, and every hue of the 

 rainbow is represented.
