Genre: Landscape Photography
Buildings in foreground looking towards mountains, with a group of chortens (stupas) in the left background. Caption note continues: 'A bird's-eye view, showing in the distance, at the entrance of the city, clusters of small tombs and relic-houses, and the cairn or pile of stones met with on approaching every Buddhist town. These are formed of stones deposited by the inhabitants, when bound on any enterprise, they having received them from the Lamas, inscribed with a sacred sentence predictive of success. The whole rests of the vast background of the Himalayas.'
