Cave of Ajanta & Elora are the pride of India. The rock-cut caves of both these sites are world famous and illustrate the degree of skill and artistry that Indian craftsmen had achieved several hundred years ago.

Ajanta dates from 100 B.C. & situated in the Sahyadri hills & there are 30 caves overlooking a gorge, `each forming a room in the hill and some with inner rooms. Al these have been carved out of solid rock with little more than a hammer and chisel and the faith and inspiration of Buddhism. Here, for the Buddhist monks, the artisans excavated Chaityas (chapels) for prayer and Viharas (monasteries) where they lived and taught. Many of the caves have the most exquisite detailed carvings on the walls, pillars and entrances as well as magnificent wall paintings. 

The cave temples and monasteries at Ellora dates from 6th century, excavated out of the vertical face of an escarpment, Extending in a linear arrangement, the 34 caves contain Buddhist Chaityas or halls of worship, and Viharas, or monasteries, Hindu and Jai temples. The earliest excavation here is of the Dhumar Lena .The most imposing excavation is, without doubt, that of the magnificent Kailasa Temple which is the largest monolithic structure in the world. Ellora has been designed as a World Heritage Site, to be preserved as an artistic legacy that will continue to inspire and enrich the lives of generations to come.
