Ellora Caves

From extraordinarily ornate and elaborate Hindu temples….


With more private spaces, like this quiet and hidden temple to Shiva…



As well as Buddhist temples where you can hear sound, not echo but pour through the arc of the space like a living stream...

Quiet and simple spaces for the Buddhist monks to sleep


To study, to chant and to eat

A place to root and grow...
