Modern day work of art on a grand scale. Lovely atmosphere helped by the resident monks and pilgrims from the south. They appear to be starting a rock sculpted Ganesh as well.

This beautiful place is not so well known, but it should be. Beautiful temple, great views and history and friendly people. We stayed for two nights at the temple and they treated us like kings. We even got to meet the highest monk. More people should visit this!
