Ellora Caves

Ellora Caves
Maharashtra
The Ellora Caves not only bear witness to three great
religions (Buddhism, Brahminism and Jainism) but they
also illustrate the spirit of tolerance, characteristic of
ancient India, which permitted these three religions to
establish their sanctuaries and their communities in a
single place, which thus served to reinforce its universal
value. The caves, with their uninterrupted sequence of
from 600 to 1,000 monuments, bring to life again the
civilization of ancient India.

These 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more

than 2 km, were dug side by side in the wall of a high
basalt cliff, not far from Aurangabad, in Maharashtra.
Ellora, with its uninterrupted sequence of monuments
dating from AD 600 to 1000, brings the civilization of
ancient India to life. Not only is the Ellora complex a
unique artistic creation and a technological exploit but,
with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and
Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was
characteristic of ancient India.

This rupestral ensemble constitute one of the most

beautiful expressions of the art of the Indian Middle Ages;
they are noteworthy as three major Indian religions have
laid joint claim to the caves peacefully since they were
created. These breathtaking caves are definitely worth
visiting for their remarkable reliefs, sculptures and
architecture. It is not, like that of Ajanta, the expression of
 a single belief; rather it is the product of the three
principal religions of ancient India.
