A photograph of the Yamunotri temple complex nestled in a steep, densely green Himalayan gorge. A tall yellow-and-orange shikhara tower rises above a red-roofed shrine with saffron flags on poles. White and pastel multi-storey buildings with red balconies cling to the hillside, with blue and green tarpaulins and tin roofs in the lower foreground. Narrow stone walkways run along the slope, a few small figures in colourful clothing walk on the path at the upper right, and a white waterfall cascades down the rock face in the background.

Several white tents and red-and-white flags stand on the upper terrace, and a narrow suspension footbridge strung with colourful cloth crosses the water on the right. A few small figures in light and dark clothing stand on the lower path and by blue-tarp stalls near the bridge, with more people visible up the slope. The setting appears to be a Himalayan pilgrimage site in Uttarakhand.2008-06-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a hillside temple complex built into steep, densely forested mountains. A tall yellow-and-red shrine tower with a spire rises at left above multi-storey pink and blue buildings with balconies and red-tiled roofs. Two small white domed shrines stand on the right. Blue tarpaulins cover parts of the structures, and a pink building in the foreground has a blue awning over outdoor tables and chairs. A suspension footbridge crosses a rushing river at lower right, with stones and pink flowering shrubs in the foreground. Small figures are visible on the balconies, and red pennants fly from poles. No a person candidate is clearly visible.2008-06-30 +1 copiesA steep, forested gorge in the Himalayas holds a cluster of multi-storey pink and white temple buildings built into the rock face. Saffron flags flutter from poles on the roof, and small white shrine domes sit at the top right. Several people stand on the balconies and terraces, and a long row of stalls with blue and black tarpaulin awnings lines the lower street. In the foreground, a few figures walk past the stalls, one wearing saffron, and a person in a blue shirt sits near the bottom right. Green vegetation covers the cliffs, and a red-roofed building with pink walls sits in the lower right.2008-06-30 +1 copiesJune 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a steep, densely green Himalayan gorge with a rushing white river at lower right.

Overcast mist hangs over the mountains above.2008-06-30 +1 copiesMay 24 20062006-05-24A wet concrete footpath curves beside a red and white metal railing through green Himalayan hillside. A person in a light grey jacket and dark trousers walks away on the path carrying a blue bag, with another figure further back. Across a ravine, a white waterfall streams down a forested cliff toward a cluster of cream and white multi-storey buildings with balconies, dotted with blue tarpaulins and a temple spire with orange and white tiers at the valley floor. Dense pines and shrubs cover the slopes under an overcast sky.2008-06-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a hillside temple complex built into a steep green slope at Yamunotri in the Himalayas. Multi-storey buildings in blue, white and pink stack up the rock face, with a yellow-and-red shrine roof at upper left and three white conical spires at upper right. Orange and red flags flutter from poles. A corrugated tin awning shelters people on a balcony at mid-level, and blue tarpaulins cover the lower foreground. Several people stand on the terraces and walkways, some in saffron or white clothing, but they are small and distant.2008-06-30 +1 copies
