It's a treat to watch the misty hills from top distance. It gives a spiritual feeling when you take a stroll round the temple.

Sun light that occasionally enters the caves brightens the water droplets dripping from the rocks ! A mystic creation indeed.

Also, Yana is a place of bats , one can see many habitats inside the caves. Might be it is seen in the night as Bats are active in the night time.
