<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 456970, member: 8363"]This was an archeological site where a former large Buddhist temple, as well as, a myriad of smaller stupas were once located. Only one huge stupa is still extant and the rest is just pieces of carved stone and foundations made of bricks. Apparently, some Buddhists make the site part of a pilgrimage and stick foil all over these ruins. It is difficult to remove as it is pressed into the bricks and stones. Since there are active temples\stupas, etc everywhere where worship and ceremonies take place, I suppose that the archeologists believe that this site should be preserved for study.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
