Here is another view of two of the row of statues. Just as with the group of statues that we saw as we entered the grounds, this line of exactly the same statues had a hard to define but very pleasing effect.
The next picture shows the entire row, except the one at the left end that broke the symmetry of the series. At the right end, there is a small building that contains an altar.
That building, when seen from its front, turned out to be dedicated to pregnant women and children. It must be fairly popular because there were a number of offerings left there.
Ian and I had now seen everything on the grounds and we could hear the people that we had passed on the trail finally arriving, so we decided that it was time to take our books and get the temple's page of calligraphy. As usual, in addition to the calligraphy, the temple office had a number of amulets and other small souvenirs for sale. As we approached, we could see the priest sitting inside so we knew that we would not have trouble locating anyone as we had had at some of the other temples.
