One of the hills where Jain monks lived; and the beds they carved still exist.

It might have been once a large complex. They’re now trying to restore as much as possible.

It was beautiful blue sky and the gurdwara (temple) was glistening in the Sun, at the middle of the holy pool (sarovar). As like any gurdwara, they welcome everyone here without asking about one’s identity.

These mountains have the sandstones from which the Cambodian temples like Angkor Wat were constructed. I am drawn to this mountain top which gives a beautiful view.
