Carved Out of Bedrock: The Amazing Great Chaitya Cave in India | Ancient Architects
There are a number of famous examples of enigmatic rock-cut architecture in the world and India is one place in particular that is famous for its caves. There are the famous Ellora Caves that date back to 600-1000 AD, which includes the breathtaking and seemingly impossible Kailasa Temple, the Ajanta caves, which are even older, but there are also the lesser-known Karla Caves, not all as elaborate as the others, but a site that should certainly be on the radar.
The Karla caves are located near Lonavala, Maharashtra, a complex of amazing ancient Buddhist Indian temples carved out of the bedrock, dating back from the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD.
Maharashtra has many larger examples of man-made cave networks but Cave 8 at Karla, known as The Grand Chaitya Cave is the largest and most completely preserved chaitya hall of the period, with beautiful, ornate architecture and featuring many examples of fine sculpture. Watch this video to find out more about this man-made wonder of the world!
