Whispers of the Ancient Temple in the Jungle

An ancient temple rising from a misty jungle at dawn. Weathered sandstone blocks worn by time, covered in emerald moss and delicate lichen. Intricate bas-reliefs of forgotten gods and mythic beasts flank massive pillars swallowed by creeping vines. A cracked stone stairway leads to a shadowed doorway, where a faint warm glow hints at secrets within. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, creating golden dust motes and long, dramatic shadows. The scene is rendered in ultra-detailed photorealism with cinematic lighting, or as a lush painterly illustration; perspective is low and close to the steps, with shallow depth of field to blur distant trees and convey ancient reverence and mystery.
