ELLORA

Ellora can be divided into three groups and roughly three periods: Buddhist, Hindu and Jain. In the seventh century A.D. the focus shifted to Ellora, some seventy-five miles away, where another set of caves was created from living rock. Here, not only Buddhism, but Hinduism and the Jain faith inspired the four centuries of arduous labors needed to create these elaborate excavations.. The Buddhist and Jain caves are ornately carved, but are relatively calm, while the Hindu caves seem to burst with divine energy.
