CAVE 19 (460-465 A.D.)

The main images are the trikala buddhas. The seated Sakyamuni in the main cave is 16.8 metres high, the second largest in the Yungang caves. Wearing a well-decorated kasaya, he has a square-round face, broad shoulders and long earlobes down to his shoulders. On the east and west sides of the main cave are two adjacent chambers, each housing a seated Buddha. Such kind of display of the trikala buddhas is quite unique.
