This complex of vertically-excavated Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu monolithic temples in India's Maharashtra providence illustrates a spirit of tolerance characteristic of ancient India.
You guys should definitely visit this place at least once, otherwise you'll miss out on something so incredibly made.👽
Covering an area more than 2 kilometers in size, the Ellora Caves are a massive and humbling tribute to faith and medieval-era workmanship in India. In fact, the term “caves” hardly does justice to the 34 Buddhist, Brahmanist and Jainist temples in Ellora, each painstakingly carved out of the mountainside and filled with delicate works of art.
Although the caves served as monasteries, temples and a rest stop for pilgrims,the site's location on an ancient South Asian trade route also made it an important commercial centre in the Deccan region.
This cave was my favorite one from all the 35 caves of ellora.🗿
In the middle of a small hill, surrounded with water, Cows all around. It looked so magical.🌈
and I have to say I am still not over the beauty of ellora caves. I'll definitely go here once again and Ajanta caves too that we missed on this trip.
