A 16th century Hindu Temple of goddess Laxmi-the goddess of wealth,

built by the then king

of Tripura, a small state in Northeastern India. On the verge of

destruction. No attempt so far by the state or central govt. to

preserve it.

Nice, I like it. I was just wondering if the grounds surrounding the temple would of provided more for the shot? It seems a bit tight. Was it in a jungle or something? I like the border too, keeps with the theme of the shot.

Very good capture Partha.

 

For those who are interested, I know this structure as I come from the same place. Ihere is NO perspective distortion- the temple IS actually tilted due to soil erosion as it stands on the steep bank of the river Gomti !

 

There is a bluish cast on the building. Artifact,due to slide to digial conversion ?

 

 

Once again, well done

D Price, this temple situated in a big hillock surrounded by little jungle. And you are right, Swapan Chowdhury MD, the bluish cast is due to due to slide to digital conversion.

Thanks all again.
