One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited is Palitana. At the long descent I met many people.

What a graceful lady! That pose is very Eastern!
I am amazed how folk are able to withstand going shoeless.

Actually the human foot is a wonder of engineering. When running barefoot, most of the forces of impact are elastically returned on rebound to allow efficient running.
Shoes, including running shoes, degrade this super human ability.
Together with our unique human ability to cool off during long distance running by sweating, we outperform all other mammals!
No animal can out run a human over a long distance.
In fact, Africans in Northern Nigeria and Ethiopia can chase down ungulate prey until it overheats and stands paralyzed due to hyperthermia and acidosis.
At times, the hunts had little need to actually throw his spear! He can simply slaughter it with a piercing thrust!

Sunsets are always beautiful, but from a temple there’s added sense of solace and spirituality!
A pilgrim or monk in white robes seems to be raising a cup in a toast?
Is there a large city over the hills?

The man is praying as you can see in the crop bellow. Perhaps at the far end it is a city...

I can now see that clearly.
It’s interesting that the monk on the right has his hands covered with the fabric of the robe that he is wrapped in. That’s the first time I have seen that.
