A silent prayer

This Black Chorten is located on a small hillock in the Buddhist Village Hanle in Ladakh, India. Having scouted this location in the daytime, I went back at night to shoot the Chorten with the Milky Way. My friend climbed upto the base of the Chorten to say a prayer and gave me the opportunity to freeze the frame.
