A misty hillside temple complex in the Himalayan foothills. Red and saffron flags on tall poles stand on a red-and-blue balcony with blue railings, with white shrine spires rising above. A blue tarpaulin roof covers a small structure below, beside a concrete courtyard. Dense green forest climbs the steep slope, with a narrow path and steps winding up through the trees and fog. A few small figures are visible at the lower edge of the courtyard and along the path, and a red-roofed building sits on the right.

The building has blue-and-white and red-painted walls, a tall yellow-and-red shikhara-style spire rising above its roof, and saffron flags fluttering from poles along the rooftop and riverside. Blue tarpaulins are draped over part of the lower structure, and rocky riverbanks are strewn with stones and scattered litter. Mist hangs over the peaks behind, with a waterfall visible in the mountain gorge. Two small figures stand on the stone steps at the left side of the river, far from the camera.2008-06-30 +1 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +2 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +2 copies
