One day of my Koyot-week I used for a daytrip to Nara. A bit slowed down by a bad cold I had, I tried to take it easy.
I walked into the park of Nara, comming by the Pagoda:
I continued with a little Riksha-tour to reduce the walking a bit.
It brought me to the first temple the Kasuga-Wakamiya Shrine.
Between the stone lanterns, that frame the path to the temple there are also the deers.
Again lots of people
but also quiet areas, where no visitors are allowed. The red painted wood is typical.
In this temple the roofs are rebuilt every so many years. This one was redone recently.
Here you can see such impressive roof constructions. All is made in a way, that the bars can move. The detail I saw in an office, where they have a little exhition about the restauration of another temple in Nara.
This roofs rebuilding is a bit longer ago.
Nice view with the big temple in the far distance. This picture is from the terrace of the Nigatsu-do.
Here the Nigatsu-do from below.
On my way to the big temple I came by a huge bell tower.
And than I finally ended up at the big hall of the Todaiji-Temple.
The big Buddha inside.
quite impressive
Protected by huge guards.
In this temple one of the huge poles has a hole in the bottom. It is the same size as one of the nostrils of the Buddha. Who fits through this whole will be espacially protected by the Buddha or be granted enlightenment in their next life, depending, what literature you are reading.
