Since 2006 I have photographed hundreds of Hindu temples all over Goa ranging from the iconic to the obscure.
This post features a small selection with the focus on temple architecture, specifically on the shikhara (domes and spires). The candidates were chosen for their shape and colour, their compositional felicity with the landscape, and for lighting conditions at the time of exposure.
