A photograph of an outdoor temple grounds with rows of small grey stone seated figures on white-and-red striped platforms, with a wooded hill behind and a low orange-roofed building. A single person in a saffron-orange robe with a draped shawl walks across red earth toward the platforms. The figure is seen from behind and at a distance, with long dark hair visible and no distinctive adornments clearly visible to establish an identity. A small yellow-clad figure and red cloth sit near a platform at the right. The sky is pale and overcast.
