Surprisingly carved into hillside rock in the middle of
nowhere are the Ajanta and Ellora caves. There are 34
caves at Ellora dating from between the 6th and 11th centuries AD, and 29 caves
at Ajanta dating back to between the 2nd century BC and
6th century AD. While the Ajanta caves are rich in
paintings and sculpture, the Ellora caves are renowned for their extraordinary
architecture. The most far-fetched thing about these caves is that they were
crafted by hand, with only a hammer and chisel.
