Ellora Caves - Verul, India

This is a similar complex to the above but is more vast in size. Ellora Caves cover an area of more than two km and consists of 34 Brahmanist, Buddhist and Jainist temples, each intricately carved out of the solid rock of the mountainside, and each filled with works of art. It is unfair to call them caves, due to the incredible workmanship involved in their creation. The work was performed from the 5th to 10th centuries.
