Michael Douglas was joined by wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their son Dylan Douglas on a trip to India, where the actor was honored with the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award at the International Film Festival of India.
The 79-year-old Hollywood legend flew to the small Indian state of Goa last week, where the festival and ceremony took place, and was presented the honor by popular Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana.
Since the ceremony, the trio are making the most of their time in the country, and are currently visiting many of the major tourist hotspots in South India.
The actor shared photos of himself with Catherine, 54, and Dylan, 23, in front of the grand Brihadeeswara Temple in the city of Thanjavur, the most renowned of the temples built by the Chola Empire between the 11th and 12th centuries.
The huge tower and intricate inscriptions stood out behind the trio as they posed for photos, wearing traditional flower garlands and sporting red tikas, red marks worn on the forehead.
Dylan, in fact, looked just like a younger version of his Oscar-winning dad as they also posed for a snap inside the temple, and shared one more family photo outside, this time dressed in all white.
