Description
Praying towards the Dhamekh Stupa at Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh, India. Sarnath is one of Buddhism's four main holy sites as it's there that Gautama Buddha gave his first sermon. Sarnas became an important Buddhist centre with many stupas and monasteries built in the 3rd to the 6th centuries. However, Sarnath was sacked in the 12th century and the site subsequently plundered for building materials. Although only ruins are now left, the site still draws many devout pilgrims.

Lovely Werner! Normally I don't like people in these kind of photos, but here I do because they illuminate the scale so I believe that enhances the photograph.

Thank you Judy, glad you like the shot - I was actually trying to frame the shot around this lady as I think she gives meaning to the scene ...

Kind of a sad story, but still enough left to marvel and be impressed. Great shot! L/F

Thank you William, glad you like the shot - , we haven't got any better though as I saw when we visited Khmer ruins near the Vietnam-Cambodia border ...
