Wawel Cathedral framed by a stone arch on Wawel Hill in Kraków, under a heavy blue-grey sky. The red brick bell tower with white stone detailing stands beside the green copper dome of the Sigismund Tower, and the gilded Sigismund Chapel sits below. A weeping birch hangs in from the right. Tourists cross the courtyard below, small against the buildings.
A documentary capture of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, marked by the historic Pran Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony held on January 22, 2024.
