Kailasa Temple – The Greatest Wonder of Ellora
Cave 16: The Iconic Kailasa Temple
No visit to Ellora is complete without exploring the awe-inspiring Kailasa Temple.
Known as Cave 16, this monument is considered one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history.
Why Is Kailasa Temple Famous?
Unlike conventional temples that are built by assembling stone blocks, the Kailasa Temple was carved downward from a single massive rock.
Engineers and historians estimate that hundreds of thousands of tons of rock were removed to create this masterpiece.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is believed to have been commissioned during the reign of the Rashtrakuta dynasty.
