| [1][2] Cave 16 features the largest single monolithic rock excavation in the world, the Kailash temple, a chariot shaped monument dedicated to Lord Shiva. | WIKI |
| 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 |

| [12] The older form of the name has been found in ancient references such as the Baroda inscription of 812 CE which mentions "the greatness of this edifice" and that "this great edifice was built on a hill by Krishnaraja at Elapura, the edifice in the inscription being the Kailasa temple. | WIKI |

| [35] Inside the temple are other goddesses important to Shakti tradition, for example, the Durga. | WIKI |
| [37] The Shiva linga at the sanctum sanctorum of the temple is equidistant from the major statues of goddesses Ganga and Yamuna, with all three set in an equilateral triangle. | WIKI |

| Cave 16, known as the Kailasa temple, is a particularly notable cave temple in India as a result of its size, architecture and having been entirely carved out of a single rock. | WIKI |
| The Kailasha temple, inspired by Mount Kailasha, is dedicated to Shiva. | 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 |
| [39][40][44] The basement level of the temple features numerous Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakti works; a notable set of carvings include the twelve episodes from the childhood of Krishna, an important element of Vaishnavism. | WIKI |
| Kailasanatha temple, remarkably carved out of one single rock was built by Rashtrakuta king Krishna I (r. 756xe2x80x93773 CE)[46]The Ramayana panel | WIKI |
| The structure is a freestanding, multi-level temple complex covering an area twice the size of the Parthenon in Athens. | WIKI |
| [47] It is estimated that the artists removed three million cubic feet of stone, weighing approximately 200,000 tonnes,[41] to excavate the temple. | WIKI |
| The construction of the temple has been attributed to the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I (r. 756xe2x80x93773 CE),[48] but elements of Pallava architecture have also been noted. | WIKI |
| An image of Shiva's mount Nandi (the sacred bull) stands on a porch in front of the temple. | WIKI |
| [39] Two of the walls in the main temple house rows of carvings depicting the Mahabharata, along the north side, and the Ramayana, on the south side. | WIKI |
| The Kailasha temple is considered a highly notable example of temple construction from 1st millennium Indian history,[51][5][41] and was called, by Carmel Berkson, "a wonder of the world" among rock-cut monuments. | WIKI |
| Vishnu at the Dashavatara Ellora temple | WIKI |
| The Dashavatara temple, or Cave 15, is another significant excavation that was completed sometime after Cave 14 (Ravan ki Khai, Hindu). | WIKI |
| The Hindu temple housed in Cave 15 has an open court with a free-standing monolithic mandapa at the middle and a two-storeyed excavated temple at the rear. | WIKI |
| An inscription of Dantidurga, critical to establishing the age of the temple, is on the back wall of the front mandapa. | WIKI |
| The Chotta Kailasha, or the little Kailasha, is so named due to the similarity of the carvings to those in the Kailasha temple. | WIKI |
| This temple was likely built in the early 9th century, concurrent with the construction of the lower level of the Indra Sabha, some decades after the completion of the Kailasha Temple. | 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 |
| However, Owen suggests that the celebration-filled artwork in this temple is better understood as part of the Samavasarana doctrine in Jainism. | WIKI |
| [88] This imagery is repeated throughout Cave 30, similar to the Hindu caves, setting the context of the temple. | WIKI |
| [88] However, the symbolism closer to the centre of the temple is more aligned with the core ideas of Jainism; a greater prevalence of meditating images and Jinas xe2x80x93 the place where the Jain devotee would perform his or her ritual abhisheka (worship). | 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 |
| As with many caves in Ellora, numerous carvings adorn the temple, such as those of the lotus flower on the ceiling. | WIKI |
| The placement of the lotus on the cave rather than a sculpture symbolizes that the temple is a divine place. | WIKI |
| [108] It is mistakenly referred to by the 10th-century Baghdad resident Al-Masxe2x80x98udi as "Aladra", site of a great temple, a place of Indian pilgrimage and one with thousands of cells where devotees live;[109] in 1352 CE, the records of Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah mention him camping at the site. | WIKI |
| Several inscriptions at Ellora[117] date from the 6th century onwards, the best known of which is an inscription by Rashtrakuta Dantidurga (c. 753xe2x80x93757 CE) on the back wall of the front mandapa of Cave 15 stating that he had offered prayers at that temple. | WIKI |
| Jagannatha Sabha, Jain cave 33, has 3 inscriptions that give the names of monks and donors, while a Parshvanath temple on the hill has a 1247 CE inscription that gives the name of a donor from Vardhanapura. | WIKI |
| The Great Kailasa temple (Cave 16) is attributed to Krishna I (c. 757xe2x80x93783 CE), the successor and uncle of Dantidurga. | WIKI |
| ...was caused to be constructed a temple on the hill at Elapura, of wonderful structure, on seeing which the best of immortals who move in celestial cars, struck with astonishment, say "This temple of Shiva is self-existent; in a thing made by art such beauty is not seen (...). | WIKI |
| In the novel, Feluda travels to the Ellora caves to uncover a smuggling racket involving illegal trade of historical artifacts from Indian temples, including the largest cave at Ellora, the Kailasa Temple. | WIKI |
| The Brahmanical group of caves (caves 13xe2x80x9329), including the renowned Kailasa temple (cave 16), was excavated between the 7th and 10th centuries. | UNESCO |
| The prominent caves of the Brahmanical group are Cave 15 (Dasavatara, or Cave of Ten Incarnations), Cave 16 (Kailasa, the largest monolithic temple), Cave 21 (Ramesvara), and Cave 29 (Dumar Lena). | UNESCO |
| The temple is decorated with some of the boldest and finest sculptural compositions to be found in India. | UNESCO |
| The remains of beautiful paintings belonging to different periods are preserved on the ceilings of the front mandapa (pillared hall) of this temple. | UNESCO |
| If one considers only the work of excavating the rock, a monument such as the Kailasa Temple is a technological exploit without equal. | UNESCO |
| However, this temple, which transposes models from xe2x80x9cconstructedxe2x80x9d architecture, offers an extraordinary repertory of sculpted and painted forms of a very high plastic quality and an encyclopaedic program. | UNESCO |
