A misty hillside temple at Yamunotri in the Himalayas. A tall yellow tiered shrine with a red border rises against a steep forested rock face, and a low orange-gabled pavilion with grey pillars and strings of marigold garlands stands in front. Two figures in dark clothing stand in the pillared hall near a hanging brass bell, and a man in an orange head cloth and light grey clothes holds a walking stick at the right edge. Mist drifts over the cliff and the trees.

June 30 20082008-06-30A photograph of a hillside shrine set against a steep, mist-covered rock face thick with green vegetation. The shrine has a brown-orange sloped roof with scalloped trim, supported by grey stone columns with blue bases. Its tall central tower is painted yellow with red edges and a small metal-roofed cap near the top. Strings of marigold-like garlands hang between the columns, and a hanging bell is visible at the left. A few people stand under the portico: one in grey and orange robes near the centre, another in a grey shirt carrying a cloth bag, and a figure in grey with an orange head wrap and walking stick at the right edge, plus a seated person near the right. The ground is a pale stone-tiled courtyard.2008-06-30 +1 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +2 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesOutdoor view of a small Himalayan temple built against a steep, vegetated rock face. The cream-and-orange structure has scalloped orange eaves, a tall tiled shikhara-style tower above, and an open pillared porch with marigold garlands hanging at the entrance. A saffron flag on a pole stands at the right. A crowd of devotees gathers on the steps and forecourt: a bare-chested older man in a peach-coloured cloth stands near the entrance, an elderly man in a white and orange shawl stands to the right, and several people in orange and white garments and woolen caps mill about. A woman in a red and white sari with a shawl stands in the centre-right. Partially visible white cloths are draped at the far left. Some people are seen in the background at the right edge; a white-clad figure and others stand near the temple wall.2011-03-31June 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesJuly 07 20082008-07-07A 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.2008-06-30 +1 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesA misty green mountain slope rises behind a cluster of small buildings with corrugated metal roofs, one pale yellow house with a blue-trimmed roof and wooden door. Several people in the foreground wear orange shawls and wraps: a woman with glasses and a red-orange shawl, a man in a green rain jacket, and a person in a grey knitted cap with pompom. Steam or smoke drifts near the buildings under a cloudy sky.2004-06-21June 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copies
