At the Kund of the Eklingeswar Shiva Temple in Rajasthan

The built edge of water

Steps and a pale wall lead into depth along the left edge, while blue water opens to the right. People at the bank mediate between architecture and landscape. The photograph combines the staircase’s geometry with the irregular forms of hills and water.

The archive names the kund of the Eklingeswar Shiva Temple in Rajasthan. Eklingji near Udaipur is a Shiva sanctuary; the photograph shifts attention from temple architecture to the adjoining waterside setting. A kund here denotes a water tank.
