| The magnificent rock-cut caves at Ellora-34 in number were excavated between 600 and 1000 AD. They include Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain caves. Celebrated every year in the month of December, the Ellora Festival is organized by MTDC. The site of this festival is the Ellora caves near Aurangabad, where well-known artistes perform. These music and dance performances invoke a certain kind of vibrancy in the 1,400-year old caves and rock carvings. The beautiful Kaildas temple, sculptured out of one huge rock, provides a perfect backdrop for this event. |
