Cave Visit

Traveling is an essential part of our daily lives. It makes our lives interesting. Today, I am going to share my experience at one of India’s most famous historical heritage sites. It is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The places are Ellora and Ajanta caves, which are 120 km away from my native place.

I have very fond memories of our family trips back then. When I was a child, the reason for visiting a temple near Ellora and Ajanta Caves was that the place was known for the birthplace and Samdhi of Saint Eknath in Paithan. He is a saint in the Vaishnav spiritual lineage. Millions of people seek liberation along the same path. 

The world heritage sites of Ajanta and Ellora Caves are nearby, so we never missed the opportunity to visit the caves. The Ellora caves are crafted entirely of black rock. The art in the caves is so amazing that if you look at it, you will be awestruck. One will be surprised by the craftsmanship of the artists.

If we wish to replicate some part of art today, I'm not sure if a highly skilled architect would be able to do it with near-perfect perfection and artery. They must have been superhuman beings or blessed with celestial craftsmanship skills.

In caves, we see sculptures of animals, dancers, Shiva, and different aspects of life during that time. It gives a complete knowledge of and awareness of what life could have been like during that time. It is a must-visit tourist attraction.
