A photograph of a stone temple in a mountainous Himalayan setting. The main shrine has carved stone walls with horizontal bands of relief, a green-edged roof, and a colourful garland of marigolds draped over a painted doorway. A tall tower with a tiered, ornamented top rises at the right, backed by green-brown mountain slopes and snowy peaks under a blue sky with clouds. A yellow metal railing fences the entrance area. On the right, a few people in orange and white saris and shawls stand near the railing, and one person in dark clothing walks near the doorway. A metal pole with a small lamp stands at the left edge.
