Description

The image captures the ruins of a Buddha temple. There is a sitting Buddha sculpture on the left side, a standing Buddha statue on the right, and a fallen Buddha sculpture on the far right. The sculptures are in front of a borded up natural rock temple. There are a couple columns on the outside, but the rest of the temple appears nature made. Trees surround the area with a couple trees in the center of the image.
