74. The Far Caves

There are not a lot of pictures from the caves for the simple reason that photography is not permitted down there. It is a place of worship and you can see people who kiss the coffins and other container of the relics. The kisses are certainly very light, but it nevertheless does not strike me as very hygienic. Anyway, I found myself alone in this room for a few seconds, and chanced to shoot a quick photo, even if the conditions were not the best.
