Also, I do take pictures and when I find one copied without attribution on some website, I get a bit upset too - to say the least.
Fair enough. All entirely sensible.

I just wish someone thought well enough of one of my photos to copy it with or without attribution!

We don't want to monopolize the thread, but as no one else is putting up a new photo...

We figured the last one would be tough, so of course you had it solved before we woke from nap. So we'll put up an easy one and hope it may last some while.

Who the hell is running this puzzle, anyway?

Actually, it works out well, as aarosh knows everything and can cover for us while we're blissfully sleeping half a world away.

He is, of course, also perfectly correct.

Here's another clue, which I hope won't help at all.

Does this place have any connection with Oscar Awards? I guess this also should be a good (difficult) clue.

PS: I could not understand your KLMNOP clue in the previous puzzle about Sonagiri Temple?

Had to log on (get it??) and go to Google to figure out what you were on about, and am still not sure we understand. Doesn't this puzzle rise high above such concerns?

Here's the long form:

The only photo of the same temple as our puzzle that we could turn up easily on line turned out to be from an IM'er (though on an altogether different site). And there the IM'er uses the same Username, but also gives away his real name.

Since it was clear the IM'er knew the very place, we figured to ask him to follow your example (when the puzzle is tootoo easy for you) and provide a cryptic answer. We didn't want to address him by his Username, since that would make it easier for everyone else to track him down and find the solution. We didn't want to use his real name, since that would blow his cyber-cover. Didn't even want to use his initials, either, since some other IM'er might recognize those and solve the puzzle more easily. But since his initials fall together in the Roman alphabet (like AB or YZ), we figured to address him with a string of letters that includes his initials, hence KLMNOP.

Shortform: you are looking at the work of a couple of paranoiacs in Vermont with too much time on their hands.

P.S.: It's all moot anyway, since he never logged on and looked at the puzzle while it was still unsolved.

By connection with Oscar Awards, I meant a movie which was nominated for Oscars Awards. I just mentioned it as a clue so that some one could reach at the answer.

Thought so. Decade ago? Cricket?

Remotest. Way too west.


#6122 is at a site much visited by pilgrims and tourists – which of course attracts a large number of merchants selling religious articles and souvenirs.
