I photographed this dual scene within the interior of the Hindu temple at the base of a shrine known as the Batu Caves. It offers symbolic food for thought as it tells its spiritual story. I divide my image with a pillar. To the left is what appears to be a reception gallery or sanctuary, lined with larger-than-life figures of Hindu deities. Their reflections shimmer on the floor below them, while fans slowly turn overhead. A stairway rises on the right side of the pillar, gradually brightening as it carries the bare feet of an abstracted worshipper up to the next level. The image becomes a tapestry of spiritual symbolism, echoing the stories that fuel religious belief.
