This was the only picture that I took of the interior that showed any clue as to how the interior was embellished in times of old. Here you can see on this ornamental ceiling pineapple traces of red pigment or paint. I am sure that if this place was blazing with candles it would have been even more spectacular to see.

The magic capture value for the temple interior seemed to be about 1/8s f/3.5. Any more shutter time than that and the shots became far too soft. I think it was because I was shooting on so wide a lens that the anti-shake system in the Minolta was working so well.
