If you see the large version of the picture, you may see a trail of rock cut steps on the hill in the background. Apparently, that was coated with butter (technically ghee) and used as a testing ground to select soliders :)
Wow! Jp, a great photo. Nice colours and textures present in the shot. Some fascinating rock formations in the photo. particularly the one in the foreground with the structure on top. Very nicely done.
