Cave 16. Worth the airfare by itself. This is a Hindu cave.

Coming through the first gate.

To the left. Yes the elephant was huge and yes there was another on the other side.

This is what the guy was looking at.

From the rear of the cave showing the same elephant. There are three stories above this spot.

This is about one-third of the central building.

A panaroma of the ground level from the back of the cave.

One carving at the entrance to the central temple.

Little colour remains in the caves in Ellora. A hint only is shown here.

Another example of some colour. There wasn’t much else.

Cave 10. This is a Buddhist cave.

Certainly an impressive room.

Some indication of the size of the Buddha.

Cave 32 looking out. This is a Jain temple.

and this is the elephant.

The bottom is a large spacious room with detailed columns and statues in the second level.

One section of a column.

and a wall carving.

A panaroma of the main room on the second level.
