Totem Pole in Jammu Temple Courtyard

Warm candlelight glows against the wet, dark wood of a carved totem pole standing in a stone courtyard near Jammu. Raindrops bead and slide down the vertical grain, catching the flickering amber illumination. The midsummer night air holds a fine mist that softens the background shadows of ancient temple walls. Rough stone paving reflects the soft, dancing light, creating a spacious and cinematic presence. Deep shadows pool in the intricate carvings, while the wet surface glistens under the warm glow. One candle flame trembles near the base, casting a sharp, elongated shadow across the slick stone floor.
