Among the more than 100 islands which sit on Lough Erne, many remain uninhabited but one small island has been called home by a unique group of spiritualists since the 1980s.
Inis Rath is home to a small group of Hare Krishnas, in what is one of only three Krishna temples on the island of Ireland, with the others being in Belfast and Dublin.
Around 15 Hare Krishnas live on the 21 acre island permanently, with others visiting the island frequently for ceremonies and festivals.
