Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Lies just above cave 2 near the north-western corner of Bajrayogini temple and faces south-south-east. The cave is easily discernible from the neighbouring ones by a defacing crack which wears into one corner of the entrance, which used to be of rectangular shape and again is quite small. The area in front of the cave seems to have been buried by a sort of landslide if it has not been intentionally filled with building debris, which somehow found its way into the interior of the small-man-sized cubicle, and thus has infilled the solitary meditation chamber by two thirds.
