Eternal Ellora…
One of the two monolithic pillars flanking the Nandi Mantapa at Kailash Temple at Ellora.
Inspired by Mt.Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva, in the Himalayas, the Kailash temple at Ellora has been scooped out of a single massive rock and was initiated during the reign of Krishna I (mid-8th century CE) of the Rashtrakuta dynasty.
An architectural marvel executed by digging top down from a basaltic slope, over 200,000 tons of rock was scooped out of the cliff before the temple could take shape and emerge in the present pattern to which the sculptures were carved to embellish the monument.
This temple complex is among the 34 cave monasteries and temples that constitute the Ellora group of monuments which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located near Sambhajinagar, formerly Aurangabad, in Maharashtra, India.
