Oh @slowwalker that colour! The teal/turquoise colour in your first photos is wonderful. To see it amidst the dark faded wood tones with touches of red is so magnificent. I wonder how glaringly brigh this was when the temple was new? it's like seeing all the old classical white statues of Greece and Rome and then realizing in their 'new' state they were awash with bright even garish colour. The world was much brighter in temples, public places, places of worship in the ancient times and how this must have sent the common person into a place of awe and joy when they stepped out of their more drab lives at home into such places rich with colour. Though I suppose many also had colour in their homes, but probably not to the same scale as the public places.
Another wonderful glimpse into your amazing 'slow walks' :)
