Ellora<\/em><\/strong> attempts the first systematic overview of the Ellora cave temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, excavated between 600 CE and 1000 CE and the only cave temple site that houses Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain caves. <\/p>\n

This volume looks at each of these three groups of rock-cut temples and the stylistic influences they drew from each other and from surrounding regions. <\/p>\n

Essays and analyzes by scholars bring a comprehensive understanding of the chronology and stylistic development of the 34 main caves and lesser caves of the site. Ellora<\/em><\/strong> also includes extensive photographic documentation, ground plans, and rarely seen early 19th-century etchings of the most significant caves. <\/p>\n
