Exclude any overly vibrant or exaggerated colors in the image. Avoid incorporating modern objects, signs of contemporary life, or elements that would place the scene in a specific geographical or cultural context. Do not include distracting scenery; instead, focus on the interplay of light and shadow on the intricate carvings. Omit any indication of a bustling or crowded environment around the entrance gate. Ensure the atmosphere remains timeless and universally evocative.
