Bird's Eye View of Rakanji Temple

Comments - Fascinating bird's eye view of the Rakanji Temple complex nestled among rugged mountains. The shrine is famous for its thousands of statues of Buddha, which can be seen nestled inside caves and dotting the landscape among many buildings. Pilgrims and visitors can be seen along the winding paths along the hillside, and a boat rows across the river at center. Waterways make their way past buildings at lower right, and clouds drift over the scene. A fascinating panoramic view of this sacred site, wonderfully detailed.
