Night view of a stone temple with a tall shikhara tower, outlined with strings of warm white and orange fairy lights hanging from its roofline and spires, and green-lit lower walls. At the lower left, a small group of people in white clothing stands near a covered area with red-orange flags. Strings of colourful bunting stretch at the upper right. Rain speckles the dark sky. This matches a Triyambakeshwar temple visit described on the page, though the temple itself is not identifiable from the image alone.
