This is a photograph of the courtyard of the Hiranya Varna Mahavihar in Lalitpur, Nepal, also known as the Golden Temple or the Monastery of Gold. In the foreground, a large, dark statue of a mythical bird, possibly Garuda, is prominently displayed. The statue is made of metal or stone and is intricately detailed, with layered scales and folded wings. It is mounted on a pedestal with decorative elements. Flanking the statue are two tall flagpoles, each with a tattered, light-colored flag. Behind the statue, a traditional multi-tiered temple structure dominates the scene. The temple has a steeply pitched, tiled roof with vegetation growing in patches. A decorative red fabric trim runs along the eaves of the lower roof. The temple's wooden architecture is elaborately carved with intricate details. A narrow entrance to the temple is visible, flanked by stone pillars and steps. To the left of the temple, a brick pillar with a small, decorative spire rises from the ground, also showing signs of moss growth. A street or pathway, paved with stone slabs, leads away from the temple into the background. Several potted plants are placed along the pathway. A street sign with the text "WELCOME TUMBAHAL" is visible on the left side. In the background, other buildings with red-tiled roofs and greenery are visible, suggesting an urban environment within the city. The sky is overcast with some clouds. The overall impression is one of an ancient, well-preserved religious site.
