@Kim Woodbridge

Tibetan Buddhism has some writings on “endless knots” symbolising the Buddha’s endless wisdom and compassion. It may be tied to that.

@kelly

It’s amzing the creations of generations ago. The one advantage they often had was a lot of free labor.

@Wendy

Thanks. Yes, not a bad job, if you can get it

@Giovanna Garcia

Thailand has lots of beautiful temples too.

The photos are brilliant. My parents went travel to Thailand when I was young and when they came back, they have some photos like this. Someday I wish to go see for myself.
Thanks,

Lovely photos. One could spend a life time exploring the temples of India, which is good work if you can get it :^).

I always wondered what tools they use to build such intricately-carved temples! I mean, many built without the present construction machinery we have! Simply amazing!

I lived in Bodh Gaya as a student for 6 months; it has a really special place in my heart. For anyone interested in Buddhism I highly suggest it as a destination.

Love the images especially the Bhikkhuni nuns. I’m fascinated by Buddhism. This is a placed I’d like to read a lot about and visit. Been to Japan and China and saw quite a few temples. Always peaceful.

Beautiful photos and place. My favorites are the monks relaxing, orange jumps out and the prayers. Interesting to see it in action.
