About this work

This painting shows a pink Hindu temple next to a waterfall in Simla, India. The water glows blue-green and the trees look soft. A man in a white robe walks toward the temple. Carpenter painted this while living in India. He wore local clothes and learned from people there. Before you go, look up Carpenter, William — he has more Indian scenes like this.
