Ruined Temple of Siddh-Nath, Kangra Valley
Carved pillars and figured stone panels border a dark doorway reached by a shallow step. Irregular surfaces preserve the entrance’s worn condition. The caption identifies the ruined temple of Siddh-Nath in the Kangra Valley. Oldham’s close view makes the surviving stonework the principal subject, with the darkness beyond the threshold giving depth to the carved frame.
