We visited Ellora and Ajanta, the sites of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain temples. Now we have seen many temples on our trip, but all of them to date have been built, these ones were literally carved out of the mountain!! They are all incredibly impressive and include carvings and paintings dating back to 200BC.
We took guides at both sites who regalled us with the stories of the sculptures and and the paintings on the wall - including those of six tusked elephants and monkey kings! It was well worth the visit, even in the scorching heat! (43 degrees!)
