I have travelled extensively in India and this has got to one of the best heritage sites in India. We were just overwhelmed with the magnificence of the unique place Tidy, well managed, clean (apart from the occasional plastic bottle) Should be visited in conjunction with the magnificent Ajunta caves. But unlike Ajunta, there are no pestering hawkers at this site. The handful of vendors are extremely respectful to visitors Our tip ... get there when the gate opens. We experienced sunrise on site and had 2 hours in the main cave until other visitor began arriving. That quiet time in there was special We got a pass-out at the exit, so that we could go back to hotel for breakfast, and return in the cool of the afternoon. Take your water with you ... as with all heritage sites ... there are no vendors within Enjoy this extra special part of India. We are so glad that we took the extra effort to visit Ellora. Thankyou Joanna Lumley!

There are five Jain Caves (temples) at Ellora. They are separated from the Hindu and Buddhist Caves - about 1 km. away. If you have a car available, that is the best way to reach the Jain Caves. Jainism was founded in the 6th century BC and is based on a doctrine of non-violence to all living beings. Jains are strict vegetarians. They believe in 24 tirthankaras - enlightened beings - or crossing-makers who guide others across the river of transmigration (the journey of the soul from one life to the next). The first tirthankara was Adinath and the last was Mahavira, who is regarded as the religion's founder. The caves are dedicated to Mahavira and tirthankaras. The Caves are numbers 30-34. Only the 2 most important Jain Caves, 32 and 33 are open for visiting. It is said that the Jain Caves are not as nice/elaborate as the Hindu/Buddhist Caves, but I really found them to be so nice. I loved the stone carvings. We had a very good guide and I was really fascinated to learn about the teachings of Jainism. The excavation of the Jain Caves began in the 9th century after the excavation of the Buddhist and Hindu Caves and lasted until the 11th or 12th century. The caves still attract pilgrims today. Cave 32, the largest of the Jain Caves is known as the Indra Sabha or Assembly Hall of Indra and is considered the finest of the Jain Caves. The entrance leads into a small court at the center of which is a monolithic shrine on a high pedestal. I particularly liked the monolithic elephant near the entrance. The downstairs is pretty plain but the upstairs is ornate and richly decorated. There are images of tirthankaras, Parasnath and Gomateshvara. Inside the shrine is a staute of Mahvira. I also liked the huge lotus carved into the ceiling. Cave 33 is known as the Jagannath Sabha. It is similar to Cave 32 and the sculptures here are very well preserved. This cave - like Cave 32 - is double-storied and has five separate shrines. There were also some nice paintings on the walls.

Beautiful stone art , whole temple made up by brownish red rock,The Grishneswar temple is an illustration of south Indian temple architectural style and structure. The temple, built of red rocks, is composed of a five-tier shikara. The temple was re-constructed by Shri Maloji Bhosale of Verul, (grandfather of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj) in the 16th century and later again by queen Ahilyabai Holkar in the 18th century. She is credited with rebuilding some of major Hindu temples such as the Kashi Vishvanath temple in Varanasi, a Vishnu temple in Gaya, and a much larger Shiva Jyotirlinga temple in Somnath.This pilgrimage site is located in Ellora (also called Verul), less than a kilometer from Ellora Caves – a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is about 30 kilometres (19 miles) north-west of the city of Aurangabad, and about 300 kilometres (190 miles) east-northeast from Mumbai.
