Terraced roofs cascade across the canvas in neat tiers, echoing the silent cloisters of remote Ladakhi and Arunachali monasteries. Each flat platform suggests a monk’s cell, while slender eaves arch like prayer flags caught in a breeze. Beyond lie mountains, their lavender peaks and ochre slopes standing guard over the sacred settlement. The repeating grid of temples and courtyards forms a gentle rhythm, inviting quiet stillness. Subtle hue shifts of gold and rust blend softly, bathing the scene in deep meditative calm and timeless serenity.
