Imagine carving a 100-ft temple out of a single rock… from the TOP down 🤯 Welcome to the Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves, the world’s largest monolithic rock-cut temple. Built in the 8th century by King Krishna I of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, this architectural marvel was carved from a single basalt rock by removing over 200,000 tonnes of stone. Dedicated to Lord Shiva and inspired by Mount Kailash, it features life-sized elephants and intricate panels from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Not constructed. Excavated. Not built upwards. Carved downwards. Ancient Indian engineering at its absolute peak. - #elloracaves🏞️ #maharasthra_ig
