Description

Martin Ellis - 01/10/2019

About 50 steps lead up to this heavily developed cave. A large building is being built on the cliff outside and the entrance has a grand gateway. The entrances to the cave are fenced to keep out monkeys and bats. Inside the main cave has a marble floor and is a commercialised pilgrimage site. At the back of the main part of the cave, concrete steps lead down to some monks' quarters and an entrance on the other side of the hill.
