Heavenly Alignment*
by Terry Straehley

Ranakpur, India

This is an IR photo of the Jain temple in Ranakapur, India. The Jain are a Buddaist sect. This is one of the few (if not the only) preserved Jain temple and is an architectural treasure. It is a three hour bus ride from the nearest tourist accomodations, but well worth the ride.

Hi Terry - this is a very nice IR shot bar the vignetting in the corners - the only thing i feel compelled to say is that Jains are not a sect of Buddhism - It is in independent religion. I do not have the facts at my disposal but I believe they actually predate buddhists.

such an ominous sky -- this is indeed an interesting architecture.

Beautiful and unusual religious architecture, Terry...really enhanced by that cloud-filled sky. I think it's fitting that this temple is so far away from any tourist accomodations...I'd certainly make the bus trip. MFC

That is really beautifully detailed architecture! It looks good against the cloudy sky.
