A photograph of a lakeside temple grounds on a misty day. In the foreground, two large painted naga serpent sculptures rest on a stone plinth beside water, one white-grey and one green, each with a carved, ornately painted dragon-like head with gold and red accents. Between them stand two guardian figures in black and red sarongs wearing tall, decorated masks, holding long wooden spears. Yellow bamboo and green foliage frame the scene, with a multi-tiered pagoda-style shrine and misty mountains in the background. The surrounding grounds show a tiled walkway and stone steps leading down to the lake. No people are clearly visible other than the masked guardian figures, which appear to be costumed or sculpted figures.
