Ellora: Do not Visit unless you have spare batteries for your camera.

400 Kms and 10 hours' drive from Mumbai, and you can be at Ellora. The roads are good and the driving is pleasant. If you want Baba’s blessings, then side trip to Shirdi will not add too many kilometers to your odometer.

One can take 55 minutes' flight costing approx. Rs.4000/- to Aurangabad. Alternative is an overnight train that drops you at 4.00AM or a day train called Intercity taking you to Aurangabad by 2.30, afternoon. On reaching Aurangabad by plane or train, you can hire an air-conditioned taxi for Rs.1200 to 1500 for the day and head to Ellora

but I would say

Do not visit Ellora if you don’t have spare batteries for your cameras.

It is not 'Pawar' but vehicle No. 4912

Kailash Temple. Main cave, carved out of single rock, starting from Top to lower levels.

The magnificent pillar. (The shadow reminds you of the moving shadow from the movie Mackenna's Gold)

wall was painted 1400 years ago. All temple walls were smoothly coated and painted; but now we can see only small patches.

The carvings similar to these are everywhere and in large number. Each one is different and better than previous one.










Wall painting ( Nobody is looking after nor has any protection)

To get this view , one has to climb the hill from which the entire temple is carved. The view is spectacular and one can get true idea of the magnitude of the caves.

The finest creation by the man and The God
