A beautiful girl was at the steps of the temple. Before she settled down she was wandering around the temple grounds, humming and talking to herself. She captured my attention, and when I raised my camera, she did not object. What struck me the most was her calmness and peacefulness, despite obvious despair. I added a cat next to her – a common sight around the temple grounds – as her protector.
