This print showcases the mesmerizing constellation of Orion in the sky at dawn, casting its ethereal glow above the Hariti Mandir temple. Located in Swayambhunath, Kathmandu, Nepal, this magnificent temple is dedicated to the goddess of smallpox and holds immense significance for both Hindus and Buddhists alike. The juxtaposition of celestial beauty with architectural grandeur creates a truly enchanting scene. As night transitions into day, the soft hues of twilight embrace this contemporary Asian capital. The vibrant colors that adorn the exterior of Hariti Mandir add an element of vibrancy to this spiritual haven. It stands tall as a testament to Hinduism's rich heritage and serves as a beacon for those seeking solace and enlightenment. The photographer skillfully captures this momentous occasion where religion intertwines with nature's wonders.
