A dark bronze temple bell hangs from a cross-shaped beam inside a white arched stone window frame, overlooking a turquoise river. Two small blue rafts with people sit on the water below. Across the river, multi-storey buildings, trees and stone ghats line the rocky hillside. The bell and river view suggest a riverside temple at Rishikesh. A railing with ornate scrollwork runs along the bottom edge.
