As for Mr Vagrom two for *&^%$# sake indeed or I'll come round Baff you. Seriously, Baffin Island?? As Goldfinger one famously quipped to Mr Bond, " Make your next witticism a good one Mr Bond...it may be your last"

Now on with the game, this ones in Asia and has something in common with the last picture ( that folks is what's commonly called a HINT!)

Name this very important Hindu Temple.

OK, 44 views no answers. Time for another hint.

The access is by cable car which rises the best part of a km and the cable car station is halfway ( or so) between the 2 main cities in this country.
