| The Kailash temple excavation also features sculptures depicting the gods, goddesses found in Hinduism as well as relief panels summarizing the two major Hindu Epics. | WIKI |
| [3] These consist of 17 Hindu (caves 13xe2x80x9329), 12 Buddhist (caves 1xe2x80x9312) and 5 Jain (caves 30xe2x80x9334) caves,[6][7] each group representing deities and mythologies prevalent in the 1st millennium CE, as well as monasteries of each respective religion. | WIKI |

| However, the overlapping styles between the Buddhist, Hindu and Jaina caves has made it difficult to establish agreement concerning the chronology of their construction. | WIKI |
| [15] The disputes generally concern: one, whether the Buddhist or Hindu caves were carved first and, two, the relative dating of caves within a particular tradition. | WIKI |
| have stated that the Ellora caves had three important building periods: an early Hindu period (~550 to 600 CE), a Buddhist phase (~600 to 730 CE) and a later Hindu and Jain phase (~730 to 950 CE). | WIKI |
| However, it is considered likely that some of the earliest caves, such as Cave 29 (Hindu), were built by the Shiva-inspired Kalachuri dynasty, while the Buddhist caves were built by the Chalukya dynasty. | WIKI |
| [16] The later Hindu caves and early Jaina caves were built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty, while the last Jaina caves were built by the Yadava dynasty, which had also sponsored other Jaina cave temples. | WIKI |
| Early Hindu temples: Dhumar Lena, Cave 29[edit] | WIKI |
| Construction in the early Hindu caves commenced before any of the Buddhist or Jaina caves. | WIKI |
| [38] According to Carmel Berkson, this layout likely symbolizes the Brahmanxe2x80x93Prakriti relationship, the interdependence of the masculine and the feminine energies, that is central to Hindu theology. | WIKI |
| [41] It is modeled along similar lines to other Hindu temples with a gateway, an assembly hall, a multi-storey main temple surrounded by numerous shrines laid out according to the square principle,[42] an integrated space for circumambulation, a garbha-grihya (sanctum sanctorum) wherein resides the linga-yoni, and a spire-shaped like Mount Kailash xe2x80x93 all carved from one rock. | WIKI |
| The Dashavatara temple, or Cave 15, is another significant excavation that was completed sometime after Cave 14 (Ravan ki Khai, Hindu). | WIKI |
| According to James Harle, Hindu images have been found in Buddhist Cave 11, while many Hindu deities have been incorporated in Buddhist caves of the region. | WIKI |
| This overlap in disparate designs between Buddhist and Hindu caves may be due to the sites being worked on by the same architects and workers, or perhaps a planned Buddhist cave was adapted into a Hindu monument. | WIKI |
| Furthermore, given that both the Hindu and Buddhist caves were predominantly anonymous, with no donative inscriptions having been discovered for the Buddhist Ellora caves other than those of Hindu dynasties that built them, the original intent and nature of these cave temples is speculative. | WIKI |
| Other Hindu caves[edit] | WIKI |
| Other notable Hindu caves are the Ravan ki Khai (Cave 14) and the Nilkantha (Cave 22), both of which house numerous sculptures, Cave 25 in particular features a carving of Surya in its ceiling. | WIKI |
| [61] It was initially thought that the Buddhist caves were the earliest structures that were created between the fifth and eighth centuries, with caves 1xe2x80x935 in the first phase (400xe2x80x93600) and 6xe2x80x9312 in the later phase (650xe2x80x93750), but modern scholars now consider the construction of Hindu caves to have been before the Buddhist caves. | WIKI |
| [72][73] These caves are smaller than the Buddhist and Hindu caves but nonetheless feature highly detailed carvings. | WIKI |
| They, and the later-era Hindu caves, were built at a similar time and both share architectural and devotional ideas such as a pillared veranda, symmetric mandapa and puja (worship). | WIKI |
| [85] It features two larger-than-life size reliefs of dancing Indra, one with eight arms and another with twelve, both adorned with ornaments and a crown; Indra's arms are shown in various mudra reminiscent of the dancing Shiva artworks found in nearby Hindu caves. | WIKI |
| Rajan, for example, has proposed that Cave 30 May have originally been a Hindu monument that was later converted into a Jaina temple. | WIKI |
| The overlap between Jain and Hindu mythologies has caused confusion, given Book Three of the Hindu Mahabharata describes Indra's abode as one filled with a variety of heroes, courtesans, and artisans, within a paradise-like setting. | WIKI |
| 19th-century historians confused the Jain Yaksas for alternate images of Indra that were found in Buddhist and Hindu artworks, thus leading to the temple being given the misnomer "Indra Sabha". | WIKI |
| [103] A particularly notable feature of the cave is a giant, open lotus carving on its ceiling and rooftop, which is found in only one other Jain excavation and one Hindu Cave 25 in all of Ellora. | WIKI |
| Desecrated statues in a Hindu Cave (left) and a Buddhist Cave. | WIKI |
| The Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments at Ellora show substantial damage, particularly to the idols, whereas intricate carvings on the pillars, and of natural objects on the walls, remain intact. | WIKI |
| [115] According to Geri Malandra, such devastation by Muslims stemmed from the perceived offense caused by "the graphic, anthropomorphic imagery of Hindu and Buddhist shrines". | WIKI |
