Buddhist Caves Of Ellora - India 2014

Out of the 34 caves of Ellora, 1 to 12 are Buddhist caves, carved from 630-700 A.D. Out of these 12 caves, the first cave simply has cells (rooms) carved for the monks to rest. The caves slowly become more grand with elaborate carvings of various postures of the Buddha. The most famous Buddhist cave is the "Vishwakarma" which is cave 10. It is known for a unique design similar to a cathedral or a basilica. It is also known as "Sutar Ka Jhopda" or "Carpenter's hut". Out of the 12 caves, this is the only one featuring a chaitya-griha (prayer hall). Archaeologists estimate that this must have been the last Buddhist cave built, around 700 A.D. The Buddhist caves were primarily constructed as Viharas (monasteries). Monks stayed here during nights and traveled to nearby villages during daytime to spread Buddhism. During monsoon season they stayed in these caves full time, so these caves are sometimes called "Rainy Season Retreat". Some of the caves were also built as hostels with kitchens and warden's rooms. They also harvested rain water which collects into tanks. You can see signs of doors installed in some of the cave cells, too. 0:01 Viswakarma's Cave or Carpenter's Cave (Cave 10) 0:27 Buddha's Statues in Cave 12 0:39 Cave 5 1:01 A panoramic view of all Buddhist caves 1:20 Buddha inside the altar of Cave 3 1:47 Cave 3 3:05 A small waterfall located near Cave 4 3:16 Cave 4 4:27 Front entrance of Cave 2 4:51 Buddha inside the altar of Cave 4 5:50 Panoramic view of Cave 4 Please visit http://www.phenomenalplace.com for interesting and intriguing places on the planet.
