Description

Martin Ellis - 06/12/2019

The cave has been developed as a shrine with several Buddhas and some mural paintings. A passage reached via a metal ladder over a rift to the right of the main entrance was not explored. Of more interest than the cave is the wooden temple building in the monastery which is made from wood and has extensive bas-relief carvings.
