Silhouetted Elephant Blessing Devotee Winter Temple in beside a prayer wheel corridor in Yüksekova district

Silhouetted Elephant Blessing Devotee Winter Temple

by Wesley Stein

Warm amber string lights hang across a corridor lined with prayer wheels in the Yüksekova district, illuminating clean, uncluttered surfaces. An elephant stands in deep silhouette against the glowing background, its massive form blocking the light. The trunk extends forward to rest on the head of a devotee wearing heavy winter clothing. Dark city lights begin to glow outside the open corridor ends, marking the winter night. The polished floor beneath the elephant's feet reflects the soft, scattered illumination from the overhead bulbs.
