January 31, 2017: We had been scheduled to go to the temple on Jahangira Island yesterday, but fog and sand bars delayed us until this morning. It was worth the wait. The temple has very fine bas relief sculptures along its helical steps, and colorful scenes along the way.
The temple shrouded in morning fog
Bathers along the ghat
Containers for water offered to the gods
Beggars along the approach to the temple
Offering water to the gods
Shiva(?) as a lion, killing a Buddhist god
Gods at play
Pilgrims, tourists, or both
Agriculture on the river bank downstream of the island
Oxen to pull a heavy load of rice straw
Impressive bridge crossing the river
