'The subjects of the larger panels appear to be chiefly assemblies of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, set within a square frame of geometric design, and this again enclosed within a circle or oval of elaborate floral pattern. . . . The lower main caves, together with five or six small grottoes between them, containing new frescoes are the shrines which receive most attention from resident priests and pious visitors.'³
