Ajanta and Ellora Caves

Astonishingly carved into hillside rock in the middle of nowhere are


the Ajantaand Ellora caves. There are 34 caves at Ellora dating from
between the 6th and 11th centuries AD, and 29 caves at Ajanta dating
back to between the 2nd century BC and 6th century AD. While the Ajanta
caves are rich in paintings and sculpture, the Ellora caves are renowned for
their extraordinary architecture. The most incredible thing about these caves
is that they were crafted by hand, with only a hammer and chisel.
