A Visit to the Ellora Caves (post courtesy of team leader, PDG, Kristi)


February 7, 2011:  Monday morning the troops took the hour ride northeast to Auranabad to the Ellora Caves for the day.


There are three groupings of .magnificent artistic rock cut caves, carved between the fifth and thirteenth century.


The caves with diverse details and minute carvings represent three different faiths:  Buddhism, Brahmanical and Jaina.


This Kailash Temple is absolutely amazing!


At night our gracious Indian friends prepared a fabulous feast that was enjoyed by all.
