As the most important building of Wild Deer Garden, the Amaq Kefota is very historical. It is still a large building, made of bricks, especially spectacular, which also represents the most prosperous era of Indian Buddhism.
By the fifth to sixth centuries AD, the Sudo dynasty began to pay attention to Buddhism. Luyeyuan built a large number of Buddhist buildings, now as the Luyeyuan landmark - Amei Kefota, was built in this period. The day we went, there was an activity here, many believers around the pagoda clockwise.
The kefotta should be the largest and most eye-catching building in Luyeyuan, and you can see her as soon as you enter it. Coming here, seeing the ruins, feeling desolate. In the 12th century, it was destroyed by the Turks, but the 39-meter-high pagoda was preserved. His diameter is 28 meters, super powerful. The building of the Ashoka period has been preserved, so that we can feel the greatness of ancient India.
Nice greenery and calming place to visit .
The tower is the upper and lower two floors. The upper half of the tower is a cylindrical red brick building. The lower half of the tower is built for huge stones. The indented Buddhas are carved on the octagonal surface. The tall and round pagoda is very general in appearance, but it is very unusual as a landmark building in Luyeyuan. In the vicissitudes of history, Luyeyuan was destroyed by the Turks who ruled India at the time in the 12th century. It is said that the only remaining is the tower of 39 meters in diameter and more than 28 meters in diameter. This tower belongs to the few remaining Ayuthian buildings.
It is one of the oldest temples in India. Built during the Peacock Dynasty. It demonstrates the prosperity and loneliness of early Buddhism in the Luyeyuan area. For various reasons. Buddhism has flourished overseas, but in India, Brahmanism returned after the 8th century. And brave Muslim fighters began to gallop to India to bring Islam. Buddhism slowly disappeared. It was not until Buddhists found it in the 1920s.
