A hillside temple complex in a steep mountain gorge, with multi-storey whitewashed and blue buildings stacked against green forested cliffs. Red and orange flags fly from poles and a yellow-and-red shrine tower on the left. Several white shikhara-style spires crown a building at upper right. Along the balconies, a few dozen figures in mixed clothing move about and gather, some in orange and saffron. Blue tarpaulins and corrugated sheets cover parts of the rooftops and courtyard below.

June 30 20082008-06-30June 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a multi-storey whitewashed temple building with red trim perched beside a fast-flowing mountain river in a steep, densely forested gorge. A tall yellow-and-red spired shrine rises from its roof, with orange prayer flags on poles nearby. Blue tarpaulins are draped over a lower section, and a few small figures stand on stone steps by the water. Mist hangs over the ridge, a thin waterfall streams down the rock face, and rocks and scattered debris line the riverbank. No identifiable person is in focus, and the image shows no visible event.2008-06-30 +1 copiesJune 03 20062006-06-03June 30 20082008-06-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a mountain valley town with steep, rocky, forested slopes rising on both sides. A cluster of multi-storey buildings with pale blue and white walls, red and corrugated roofs, and a small temple spire sits along a narrow ravine. Many small figures are scattered along the stone pathways and steps in the crowded lower area, and a footbridge crosses the stream. Dense trees frame the foreground. The scene appears to be a pilgrimage site, but no individual a person candidate is clearly visible, so the subject identity is not established.2006-05-24A 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 copiesA hillside Himalayan town at a steep mountain gorge, with pale blue and white multi-storey buildings, red and corrugated metal roofs, and a small white temple tower with a red flag amid the houses. Crowds of pilgrims, visible as small figures, gather along a stone-paved path between the buildings and a rocky cliff covered with pine and deciduous trees.
