Ellora Caves (1925)

Enlightening and educational, this exquisitely crafted film sheds light on the marvellous nature of the Ellora Caves in Maharashtra, 34 'caves' that 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.
