Out of its 34 cave mandirs, 12 are Buddhist, 17 are Hindu and 5 are Jain mandirs. They contain elaborate carvings of gods and godesses of the three great Faiths. The Kailash Hindu mandir is the most famous of all cave mandirs of Ellora. It is regarded as the greatest monolithic structure in the world. The mandir, 50 m. long, 35 m. broad and 30 m. high, was carved out of a single huge rock. Seven generations of master sculptors toiled over a period of 150 years to create this masterpiece. Swamishri visited the Kailash mandir, a Buddhist cave mandir and a Jain cave mandir. |
