Wotans Throne, the large butte just right of center is a 7,721-foot-elevation (2,353 meter) summit that stands prominent extending into the canyon about one mile from the location this photo was taken from. The wooded top of Wotans Throne is composed of 700-feet-thick Kaibab Limestone overlaying 300-feet-thick, cream-colored, cliff-forming, Permian Coconino Sandstone.
Vishnu Temple is a 7,533-foot-elevation (2,296 meter) is seen towards the left side of the photo. It is situated two miles south-southeast of the Cape Royal overlook. Vishnu Temple is named for Vishnu, the Hindu deity, redeemer of the universe. This name was applied in 1880 by Clarence Dutton who thought this mountain resembled an oriental pagoda, and who began the tradition of naming geographical features in the Grand Canyon after mythological deities. The first ascent of the summit was made by Merrel Clubb and his son on July 13, 1945.
