Was religious center of Buddhism and Jains in the past. Lots ofreligious sculptures, carvings and wall & ceiling paintings preserved in a group of caves orientated along the horse-shoe-shape cliff. These are not natural caves but tremendous efforts of ancient folks, some caves are spacious. Many Tibetan pilgrims were seen here. Most of them would leave a small amount of money in front of “each” Buddha statue as offering and gesture of respect (seems to be their habit), quite a hefty sum in a day. Wonder where the money would go?
