May it proceed smoothly. Your beautiful pictures of Bhaja, Kala and Bedsa bought back very happy memories. But it is your post of August 4 2006 that interested me most. I have never seen or heard of this place (and I know a LOT about Buddhist sites in India). Could you give me its name and the details of how to get there?Shravasti Dhammikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246408068143301108noreply@blogger.com
