Half Day Excursion to Ellora Caves

Description

Maharashtra which encourages eco-friendly tourism sees millions of national and international tourists throughout the year. People who step into this state visit Mumbai and other important tourist destinations before entering into Ellora caves which houses largest-rock-cut monastery cave complexes. These caves enjoy UNESCO status and see plenty of visitors during peak seasons. There are around 30-34 caves which are worth watching and enjoying. This wonderful tourist spot which is only 18 miles from Aurangabad is a treat for sullen eyes. Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and others who love touring archaeological sites flock Ellora caves throughout the year and enjoy the statues and temples that are built by ancient kings and queens. Buddhist monks from India and other parts of the world spend a few hours in the Vishwakarma caves before leaving the scenic spot. It is interesting to note that numerous tantric goddesses are carved in Ellora caves which will be a feast for the eyes. Visitors will understand the rich heritage, culture and traditions that were prevailing in India during ancient times when they read the inscriptions, boards and other hoardings. Tourists can find the Goddess Ganga when they step into Rameshwar temple cave. When tourists step into the Kaila temple they will find idols of Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathi and the ten avatars of Vishnu.
