The Temple on the Hill at Gulmarg, Kashmir

            Gulmarg has a heavy load on the Indian psyche for it was a destination that every traveler had to scent mark if he or she ever went to Kashmir. The attraction was the gentle rolling meadows that were used for skiing as well as picnics and the clean and salubrious atmosphere at about 9000 feet with a golf course for the elite sporting crowd. 

Many Hindi movies were shot here with the usual running around the bush routine while the hero and the heroine declared undying love and remorse in the hills and vales.
Much of the romance has vanished now after the influx of terrorism that had a stranglehold on the state for many years.

Now it has sporadic traffic and a few brave visitors.
The local population carries on its life the way they have always done, with or without the problems going on for well nigh half a century and more. 

This Hindu temple of small size is atop a small hill in the rolling grassland of Gulmarg and has been shot almost against the sun. 

This was the position in 2010 in November. I have no idea how the place is as of now.
