Description

Ellora Cave Complex. West of India.
This is cave no.16. It is estimated that constriction work for this temple started sometime in 735 A.D and it took 10 generations work over 200 years for its completion. This is the biggest monolithic rock cut temple in the world, isolated from the surrounding rock and excavated from top to bottom and scooped out. Its mind-boggling to imagine what equipment and machinery they had back in those days to cut a solid rock and made a masterpiece out of it, the amazing sculptures that adorn the temple at its ground and 1st floor will take your breath away ........this is only one of the 34 caves in that complex!
