This enchanting photograph captures the serene beauty of the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India, as it flows gently past the ancient Lalji Temple in the town of Kalna. Dating back to 1739 AD, this magnificent Hindu temple is dedicated to the worship of Lord Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Shiva. The temple complex is a feast for the eyes, with its intricately carved stone walls, ornate pillars, and colorful frescoes. The main temple, with its distinctive red and white striped spire, stands proudly against the backdrop of the river and the lush green foliage.
