A photograph of the Badrinath temple in the Himalayas, a multi-tiered shrine with a golden dome and brightly painted red, blue, yellow and orange facades with arched doorways. Devotees climb the stone steps toward the entrance, some in orange and saffron garments, others in colourful saris and shawls. Uniformed police stand along a grey stone parapet in the foreground, and a red-and-white flag flies from a pole at the top. Small pink and white houses and hillside buildings rise behind the temple under a grey, cloudy sky. No identifiable a person is visible.
