Roof Detail, Guanyin Gucha, Jilin, Jilin, China

The roof ridge figures at Guanyin Gucha in Jilin City, Jilin, are more uniform than the ones at most other temples. The cha in this temple's name (yet another word for "temple") is a shortened form of chaduoluo (剎多羅), transliterated from the Sanskrit word kshetra, meaning "a field."
