Solitary meditation. The bodhi (enlightenment) tree can be seen in the centre next to the main temple.

A very interesting documentary set Pete. From an aesthetic and pictorial point of view #1 and #3 are the stand-outs — but it is good to see all of them. #1 has a sense of almost cosmic movement as well as of profound piety (in the entirely positive sense, of course) — tremendously impressive! You must have sensed all this when you were there.
