27-07-24 | 06:00 PM | Zoom

GLIMPSES OF CULTURE. Ellora: A Vision of Grandeur. Screening followed by discussion with art historian, filmmaker and photographer Benoy K. Behl. Prod. Doordarshan. The rock-cut caves at the site of Ellora, on the outskirts of the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra, is a grand culmination of more than a thousand years of the ancient rock cutting tradition of India. From the 6th century CE till the 10th, the last caves to be made for the Buddhist, Hindu and Jaina faiths were created here, in overlapping periods. The grand climax of rock-cut architecture in India is in Cave 16, the Kailashanatha temple. This is the largest and most magnificent excavation of the world. The entire hillside has been transformed into a great temple, with structures carved both inside and out. The scale is breathtaking. From the courtyard the temple rises over a hundred feet.
