Tibet Guge 09 Tsaparang Demchog Temple 07 Cemetary  [44 of 45]


A 0.5m high band of paintings runs beneath the murals, depicting the eight great cemeteries of India. There are macabre scenes of disembowelment by lions, tigers, and other wild animals, and a striking image of a long-haired man impaled on a pole. Here also are images of the eight chortens, eight holy mountains (including Kailash), eight holy trees, and the eight holy waters.
