风的呢喃1963The sixth day of India's trip - Elora Grottoes Group February 27, 2019 The temperature of 32 degrees Olangabad is an ancient city on the Indian Degan Plateau, about 350 kilometers east of Mumbai, and is a must-have place for the ancient "Silk Road". Orangabad is a tourist city because of its castles, grottoes and a building known as the “Little Taj Mahal.” We came from Mumbai, in fact, we came to two grottoes. The most prestigious attraction in the local area is two grottoes. Yesterday, we saw the Aveda grottoes 106 kilometers away from the city of Olangabad. Today, the itinerary is the Elora grottoes. The Elora grottoes have Buddhist grottoes. There are 12 Hindu grottoes, 17 Hindu grottoes, and 5 Jain grottoes. They show the perfect view of the unity of nature and man. They are breathtaking in the history of architecture and art. The Elora Grottoes are located near the city of Olangabad in Maharashtra, India. High and steep basalt walls, 34 cave temples were carved out, one by one, stretching more than 2,000 meters. These well-preserved and orderly relics, dating back to 600 to 1,000 AD, vividly reproduce ancient Indian civilization. In 1983, the Elora Grottoes were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The essence of Elora is the 16th cave facing the entrance, supposedly the peak of Indian grotto art - a temple chiselled from the mountain wall. I stayed here for almost two hours, from the whole to the details, this place should be the only place in the world. There are paths to go uphill behind the grottoes, overlook the entire temple, chiseled a temple from the whole stone, even imagination is a difficult thing. At first glance, Grottoes 16 immediately remembered the Cross Church in Laribera, Ethiopia. The architectural style is different and the same work is carved from the top to the bottom. Different teachings, Grottoes 16 are more refined and large in scale than Laribera Cross Church. Very shocking! The name of the ancient civilization is well-deserved.
