This is one of the more important Buddhist sites, and a favourite destination for pilgrims. It consists of caves built into a cliff, in which are found temples of various sizes. On their walls are found stunning paintings and carvings of stories of the Buddha’s life, and of His previous lives as a Bodhisattva. Inside the temples, the beams and pillars are all made from a solid piece of rock. It is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship that takes away the imagination. It seems like the very essence of the earth.
