Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking toward the Velliangiri Hills across the lake or from the approaches to Perur Pateeswarar Temple, showing coconut palm fronds and wetland grasses in the foreground, the sculptured stone temple gopuram or Adiyogi silhouette in the middle-ground, and the massive, mist-veiled green mountain wall rising majestically in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick tropical rainforests of the Velliangiri Hills, coconut palm plantations, and wetland lake vegetation.
