Balinese temple architecture is unique and I love how the gates are shaped. The temple was busy as it’s popular but I managed to see this woman alone, offering prayers.

They scale the steep mountains so effortlessly and liked the pasture along the western ghats.

It seems this trade is doing not bad, as I see about 4 wheels now, from hardly one a few years back.
