A dark, narrow rock-cut cave passage with a low, uneven stone ceiling and rough walls streaked with cracks. A narrow stone-paved walkway with a raised brick-edged channel runs down the middle toward a distant dim opening. Carved or scratched markings and some painted letters are visible on the side walls. Warm sandstone blocks frame the entrance on both sides. No people are visible; the cave interior is unlit except for dim light from the far end.

A dark stone cave passage with a rough, fissured rock ceiling and walls, lit by a bright opening at the far end. Smooth dark stone flooring runs down the centre, bordered by low brick-edged channels.

Faint carved or painted markings appear on the right wall.

A photograph of a long rock-cut tunnel with a wet stone-slab floor that reflects light, rough granite walls and a curved arched ceiling. A narrow cable runs along each wall with small lamps attached. At the far end, a row of arched openings and a pillar frame a distant green courtyard and another arch. No people are visible in the passage.

Photograph of an empty stone tunnel or cave passage with a barrel-vaulted ceiling of dark, weathered masonry. Steps of pale stone lead up toward a distant arched doorway glowing with light at the far end. The floor at the front is tiled in black and red squares with a reflective sheen. Narrow slits of daylight shine through the ceiling above. No people, deities or ritual objects are visible.

A narrow stone tunnel with a rounded arched ceiling of rough-cut stone blocks and walls of weathered stone. A brick-paved floor leads toward a dark opening at the far end framed by a rock wall, with green grass growing along the centre of the path. A terracotta bucket sits on the left side, and electrical cables run along the walls. No people are visible, and the scene appears to be a cave passage leading to a shrine area.
