Ellora: Abode of the Gods | Wonders of Ancient India, Ep. 4 (Part 3)

Beyond the great Kailash Temple, lie 14 more Hindu rock-cut temples, ranging from gigantic pillared halls to intimate meditation spaces. These temples attract far less visitors than the other more famous caves at Ellora, yet they possess exceptional artistic quality and decoration.
Built between the 6th and the 10th century CE, these rock-cut temples contain refined carvings inspired by the great Hindu epic poems of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
Thousands of tons of basalt were removed for the construction of these temples, whose vast halls were hollowed out from the living rock of the mountain.
