A photograph of a forested hillside in the Himalayan foothills. Tall broadleaf trees with dense green canopies fill the foreground, and deeper green shrubs and saplings grow beneath them. Beyond the trees, layered mountain ridges rise and fall into a valley, with patches of cultivated terraces visible on the slopes. Puffy white clouds drift across a blue sky, and mist hangs over the distant peaks. No people, deities, or ritual activity are visible.
