Konark and Chandrabhaga: with family

A return to the Sun Temple, followed by a rain-painted beach sunset.

I returned to Konark with my parents in February 2025, after an earlier visit in 2022. My mother made several of these portraits among the carved stone, once crouching so low for the angle that I felt embarrassed and grateful at the same time.

Later, Chandrabhaga changed the register completely. The sky deepened, rain arrived, and the three of us had to hurry back to the car while the sunset was still painting the beach.
