I really liked some of the pictures from Sunday so I thought we needed a second installment. Here are some from the first cave, Karla Caves:
The line of people hiking up and the elephants in front of the cave. There used to be tusks of ivory. Seems funny to take them from the real deal and put them in a bunch of cement…
The one on the left is the monks quarters at one point and contained lots of little rooms with cement slabs for beds. The second is of Mike in one of the rooms looking out at the beautiful, mostly farmland view.
These are a collection from the second cave, Bhaja Caves:
The view half way up, notice the dark clouds that are coming in. That should have been our first hint that it was going to rain!
Here’s the view from the top. this slope was filled with random waterfalls after the rains started coming. It was beautiful green, hills all around us. The picture of us was taken in the Bhaja Cave when it was storming. A great view we have to say. Perfectly timed rain.
These monuments are a part of a bigger cemetery. There were fourteen “stupas” bearing the names of the person in whose memory it is made. They were taller than me and quite the collection.
