I assume part of the stupa was broken? They look like bells, are they meant to, do you know? What a fascinating place. I hope you touched every statue.

Sadly, I saw exactly the same behaviour in Canterbury Cathedral at the shrine of St Thomas Beckett. It’s crass and disrespectful to our ancestors and what they held dear as well as the skill of the craftsmen, whether one has a religious faith or not.
