Most beautiful view – Kailasa Temple – India

The Kailasa temple (also written Kailāsa, Kailash and Kailasanatha temple) is a famous rock cut monument, one of the 34 monasteries and temples known collectively as the Ellora Caves, extending over more than 2 km, that were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliff in the complex located at Ellora, Maharashtra, India. Of these, the Kailasa (cave 16) is a remarkable example of Dravidian architecture on account of its striking proportion, elaborate workmanship, architectural content, and sculptural ornamentation of rock-cut architecture.[1][2] The temple was commissioned and completed between dated 757-783 CE, when Krishna I ruled the Rashtrakuta dynasty.[1] It is designed to recall Mount Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva.[3] It is a megalith carved out of one single rock. It was built in the 8th century by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. For more info please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kailasa_temple,_Ellora
