RELIGIOUS HARMONY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

One of the most amazing feats of monumental building are the Ellora Caves.  The construction of this site is attributed to 3 religious factions, all of which originated with the teaching passed down for 10,000 years through the Veda.  Could these massive rock carving and sculptures be duplicated with “modern” technology?  Would current “civilization” allow this work to be done?

Ellora Caves is an archaeological site, 29 km (18 mi) North-West of the city of Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharashtra built by the Rashtrakuta dynasty. It is also known as Elapura (in the Rashtrakuta literature-Kannada). Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock-cut architecture. The 34 “caves” are actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills. Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist (caves 1–12), 17 Hindu (caves 13–29) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34) caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history. — (Wikipedia.org)\

This is the world famous Kailasa temple at Ellora in the Maharashtra province of India. What is so special about this temple? This temple was not constructed by adding stone blocks, but an entire mountain was carved out to create this temple. This is the only example in the whole world where a mountain was CUT OUT FROM THE TOP, to create an enormous integrated structure inside the mountain.  TAKE A TOUR of the cave in the video below:

The Kailasa Temple is part of the Ellora cave group. it is number 16 of a total of 34 caves. The Ellora caves are not natural caves, but religious dwellings excavated out of the face of a cliff. These caves are generally thought to have been created between the fifth and tenth centuries AD. But were they really? Is it possible that the first work was done much earlier in time? So many of these structures worldwide have been re-worked throughout history. The Ellora caves house Hindu, Buddhist as well as Jain temples. According to Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, it is one of the possible locations of Mt Meru or Sumeru, which is the center of the universe.  The architectural plan (below) of the temple looks like a computer circuit board….
