Daylight Glory of Patan Temple Architecture

A breathtaking daylight panorama of Patan Durbar Square in Lalitpur, Nepal, spotlighting historic temple architecture. In the foreground, Krishna Mandir and other stone temples rise with intricate Newar carvings, tiered wooden pagoda roofs, carved struts, lattice windows, and weathered bas-reliefs. Red-brick courtyards, sensuous wooden balconies, and golden copper accents shimmer in bright sun. The blue sky provides a crisp backdrop as warm light casts sharp shadows, highlighting textures of stone and wood. Distant hills softly frame the scene; locals and pilgrims add life to the square.
