Twin white stupas with prayer flags in the Indian mountains

A Buddhist stupa, painted white, stands in a mountainous, forested area under a partly cloudy sky. The stupa has a tiered base, a domed body, and a spire topped with a golden finial. Prayer flags in various colors are strung across the foreground, some fluttering in the wind. Stacks of flat stones are piled on the lower tiers of the stupa. A yellow railing runs horizontally in front of the stupa. A plaque on the stupa reads "LATE SH NIHAL CHAND THAKUR (5th April 1925 - 18th March 1975)". The surrounding environment consists of steep, densely forested hillsides. This location appears to be Arat, India, based on the context provided.

The image shows two white stupas, a type of Buddhist shrine, situated outdoors in a mountainous region. The stupas are identical in design, featuring tiered bases topped with domed structures and intricate golden finials. They are positioned symmetrically, flanking a set of stone stairs. Yellow poles serve as railings on either side of the stairs, leading up to a platform. Prayer flags in various colors are strung across a white wall in front of the stupas. Behind the stupas, a dense forest covers a steep mountain slope under a blue sky with scattered clouds. A sign on the right stupa reads "STUPA BUILT IN MEMORY OF LATE SMT LATA THAKUR 21st AUG 1941-14 Dec 1976". The scene appears to be a serene, spiritual site, likely in a rural area given the natural landscape. The image does not contain any people or information about the city of Arat, India.
