India/Aurangabad/Ajanta Caves Part 50

Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!

Ajanta Caves/Aurangabad:
The Ajanta Caves in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state of India are about 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments which date from the 2nd century BCE to about 480 or 650 CE.The caves include paintings and sculptures described by the government Archaeological Survey of India as the finest surviving examples of Indian art, particularly painting, which are masterpieces of Buddhist religious art, with figures of the Buddha and depictions of the Jataka tales. The caves were built in two phases starting around the 2nd century BCE, with the second group of caves built around 400–650 CE according to older accounts, or all in a brief period of 460 to 480 according to the recent proposals of Walter M. Spink. The site is a protected monument in the care of the Archaeological Survey of India, and since 1983, the Ajanta Caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With the Ellora Caves, Ajanta is the major tourist attraction of the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. About 59 kilometres (37 miles) from Jalgaon railway station on the Delhi – Mumbai line and Howrah-Nagpur-Mumbai line of the Central Railway zone, and 104 kilometres (65 miles) from the city of Aurangabad. They are 100 kilometres (62 miles) from the Ellora Caves, which contain Hindu and Jain temples as well as Buddhist caves, the last dating from a period similar to Ajanta. The Ajanta caves are cut into the side of a cliff that is on the south side of a U-shaped gorge on the small river Waghur, and although they are now along and above a modern pathway running across the cliff they were originally reached by individual stairs or ladders from the side of the river 10–35 m (30–110 ft) below.
The area was previously heavily forested, and after the site ceased to be used the caves were covered by jungle until accidentally rediscovered in 1819 by a British officer on a hunting party. They are Buddhist monastic buildings, apparently representing a number of distinct monasteries or colleges. The caves are numbered 1 to 28 according to their place along the path, beginning at the entrance. Several are unfinished and some barely begun and others are small shrines, included in the traditional numbering as e.g. 9A; Cave 15A was still hidden under rubble when the numbering was done. Further round the gorge are a number of waterfalls, which when the river is high are audible from outside the caves.
The caves form the largest corpus of early Indian wall-painting; other survivals from the area of modern India are very few, though they are related to 5th-century paintings at Sigiriya in Sri Lanka.The elaborate architectural carving in many caves is also very rare, and the style of the many figure sculptures is highly local, found only at a few nearby contemporary sites, although the Ajanta tradition can be related to the later Hindu Ellora Caves and other sites.Wikipedia

All About Ellora Caves (Hindi)

Ellora is located nearly thirty kilometers away from the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra. The caves were excavated and carved out of the vertical, basalt face of the Charanandri hills. Near the cave numbered 32, we can still see the channels through which the volcanic lava once flowed. These basalt rocks are ideal material for the kind of architecture and craftsmanship that the Ellora represents, enabling the craftsmen to express their vision and art on rock as a permanent memorial.

Ellora Caves - Aurangabad | Places to visit in Aurangabad | 2 Day Trip to Aurangabad

Ellora Caves - - Aurangabad | Places to visit in Aurangabad | 2 Day Trip to Aurangabad
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22nd December 2017
This is my first trip to Aurangabad. I reached Aurangabad at 9PM by train. I already booked a dormitory in the railway station, which is the best way to stay on a budget trip. The dormitory costs 49/- per 12 hours. After keeping the bag in a locker, I went outside the station. The food is very cheap in Aurangabad, and I tasted a lot of items.


23rd December 2017
Today my plan to visit Bibi ka Maqbara, Doulatabad Fort, Ellora Caves, and Aurangzeb's Tomb. Bibi ka Maqbara is 5KM away from the railway station. I hitchhiked two bikes and reached there within 20 minutes. Bibi ka Maqbara looks like Taj Mahal. It was commissioned by Aurangzeb's Son Azam in the memory of his Mother Dilras Banu Begum. Due to the strong resemblance, Bibi ka Maqbara is also called the Dakkhani Taj (Taj of the Deccan). I spent 1 hour there and returned to the next destination, Daulatabad Fort.

Daulatabad Fort is located on the northwest of Aurangabad, about 20Km away from railway station. magnificent 12th-century fortress stands on a hill, Built by Raja Bhillamraj was once known as 'Devgiri', Initially a Yadav stronghold, it passed through the hands of several dynasties in the Deccan. The ‘Daulatabad’ (city of fortune) name was given by Muhamad Tughlaq, Sultan of Delhi. I reached there by hitchhiking on two bikes. I took less than two hours to reach the top. The view from the top is awesome. You can see the nearby places from the top. After spending couples of hours on the fort, I started moving towards Ellora Caves.

Ellora caves 14 KM away from the Daulatabad Fort. After waiting minutes near fort's entrance, I managed to hitchhike on another bike. The road towards the Ellora side crosses a big ghat. Ellora Caves is yet another UNESCO identified World Heritage site and is a true depiction of different religions residing together as it contains Buddhist, Hindu & Jain religious temples and religious art in the form of exquisite sculpture patronized by Hindu kings. Covering all 34 caves can be a great challenge in the interest of time, however, it is definitely a must to see a glimpse of each religion variety. I have covered all caves except two. The Kailash Temple which sits at the centre of the Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves is one of the largest rock-cut temples carved out of a single rock. I spent a couple of hours to see all the caves and finally returned to Aurangabad.

Ellora Caves:
Ellora 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 (Brahmanical & Buddhist group of caves) and Yadav (Jain group of caves). Well known for its monumental caves, Ellora is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms one of major tourist attraction in Marathwada region of Maharashtra 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. Hindu, Buddhist and Jain rock-cut temples and viharas and mathas were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 17 Hindu (caves 13–29), 12 Buddhist (caves 1–12) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34) caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history. It is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India.
History:Ellora is known for Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cave temples built during (6th and 9th centuries) the rule of the Kalachuri, Chalukya and Rashtrakuta dynasties. The Jagannatha Sabha a group of five Jain cave temples of 9th century built by Rashtrakuta.

A Jain cave in Ellora:The five Jain caves at Ellora belong to the ninth and tenth centuries. They all belong to the Digambara sect. Jain caves reveal specific dimensions of Jain philosophy and tradition. They reflect a strict sense of asceticism – they are not relatively large as compared to others, but they present exceptionally detailed art works. The most remarkable Jain shrines are the Chhota Kailash (cave 30), the Indra Sabha (cave 32) and the Jagannath Sabha (cave 33). Cave 31 is an unfinished four-pillared hall and a shrine. Cave 34 is a small cave, which can be approached through an opening on the left side of Cave 33. Amongst other devotional carvings, a place called Samavasarana can be found in Elora caves. Samavasarana is of special interest to Jains, as it is a hall where the tirthankara preaches after attaining omniscience.

Painting of the mountain of Ellora, by Thomas Daniell (1803).
Ellora Caves, general map.
Plan of Cave No. 5 (Mahawara Cave)
These caves were built during the 5th-7th century. It was initially thought that the Buddhist caves were one of the earliest structures, created between the fifth and eighth centuries, with caves 1-5 in the first phase (400-600) and 6-12 in the later phase (mid 7th-mid 8th), but now it is clear to the modern scholars that some of the Hindu caves (27,29,21,28,19,26,20,17 and 14) precede these caves. The earliest Buddhist cave is Cave 6, followed by 5,2,3,5 (right wing), 4,7,8,10 and 9. Caves 11 and 12 were the last. All the Buddhist caves were constructed between 630-700.
These structures consist mostly of viharas or monasteries: large, multi-storeyed buildings carved into the mountain face, including living quarters, sleeping quarters, kitchens, and other rooms. Some of these monastery caves have shrines including carvings of Gautama Buddha, bodhisattvas and saints. In many of these caves, sculptors have endeavoured to give the stone the look of wood.
Most famous of the Buddhist caves is cave 10,(refer map) a chaitya hall (chandrashala) or 'Vishvakarma cave', popularly known as the 'Carpenter's Cave'. Beyond its multi-storeyed entry is a cathedral-like stupa hall also known as chaitya, whose ceiling has been carved to give the impression of wooden beams. At the heart of this cave is a 15-foot statue of Buddha seated in a preaching pose. Amongst other Buddhist caves, all of the first nine (caves 1–9) are monasteries. The last two caves, Do Tal (cave 11) and Tin Tal (cave 12) have three stories.Wikipedia
