padmapani

holder of the lotus, the bodhisattva of compassion, in cave one of the ajanta caves.

what a special treat today was to be able to visit ajanta caves! i have been so horribly busy trying to get everything accomplished on this trip, but the customer allowed me a half day to spend some time out here. i do enjoy buddhist history and holy sites (though am no expert by any means), and i thoroughly enjoyed seeing such intricate murals in such great condition in the caves,

only had enough time for a short visit before going back to work, but what a wonderful break!
