This weekend we went to Aurangabad, to the Ellora caves. There is a total of 32 temples witch represent different religions, carved out of the rocks. Temple 16, the middle one, is by far the most important and the most beautiful of them. This is an Hindu temple with the name Kailasha, Shiva’s mountain abode. This rock cut out architecture is regarded as the greatest monolithic structure in the world. The task of cutting out the approximately 3.000.000 cubic square feet of rock must have occupied at least one hundred years.
