 I took this picture on my trip to McCleod Ganj, India where many Tibetan monks take refuge after China invaded their country--Tibet. I had the privilege of becoming good friends with 3 monks, and was thus allowed to photograph them inside the temple.

You must have a very good heart and an old soul. It's a beautiful photo and having the Mala beads in front of the Monk makes it even more powerful.

I'm assuming this is a place of worship but doesn't convey 'church' to me. This conveys religion, not Church.

More a shot showing religion rather than a church shot. That being said, this is a great shot of religion.
