It took 150 years to build this temple. In making this Kailashnath temple dedicated to Lord Shiva for 200 years and 10 generations, and yet we call the Taj Mahal an unsurpassed sample of architecture.
The construction of Kailash Temple, which has been removed from the rock, is 90 feet. The height of this unique temple is 276 feet long, 154 feet wide This cave temple
It took 200 years to build this temple, it was ten generations 7000 craftsmen have been working continuously by doing this work.
The most amazing in the 34 caves of Ellora is the Kailash Temple cave. The credit for the construction of the huge Kailash Temple (Cave 16) of Ellora goes to the Rashtrakuta ruler Krishna-I (about 757-783 AD). He was the successor and uncle of Dantindurg. Although it is believed that it has been built in many generations. But its work was completed during the reign of Krishna I
Very large Shivling can be seen in the Kailash temple. The temple also has a huge elephant statue which has now been broken. Most caves of Ellora reach natural light. But some caves require battery torch to look at. Here the staff of the Archeology Department is there to help you.
The specialty of the Ellora caves, unlike Ajanta, is that they were never neglected due to the very close to the trade route in different historical periods. To see these caves, the emperor came along with enthusiastic travelers regularly.
Ellora's number 16 is the largest cave, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the lord of Kailash. The most excavation work has been done in this. Like the statue from outside, the entire mountain is carved and it has been converted into a Dravidian style temple. The temple is built by cutting only one rock. Its carving is very huge and magnificent. After entering the huge gopuram, when the statue of Nandi appears in the open pavilion in front, there are giant elephants and pillars on both sides.
The architects of Ellora have tried to make the Kailash temple a Kailash of the Himalayas. The idol of Kailash Bhairav looks horrible, Parvati's idol looks snaily. Shiva seems to be tambling in such a velocity as if he is not seen anywhere else.
Artists have tried to give a climax of their imagination to portray the future of Shiva and Parvati. Marriage of Shiva Parvati, Narasimha Awatar of Vishnu, Raising of Kailash mountain by Ravana etc. Images have been carved here in the walls. In fact it is worth noting in the seven wonders of the country, but in the seven wonders of the world. At that time when JCB machines were not there.
There were no dynamites to cut stones. It is surprising to think of how this work could have been done. Many times it seems that this is not a matter of inheritance.
This is an unmatched signature of Indian archaeological art. The Kailashnath temple, Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, is visible in the rainy season.
