Ellora; The Artistic Buddhist cave 10 (The Vishwakarma)
In continuation to my earlier post on, Ancient Ellora Cave temples; Ravan Ki Khai (cave 14) and Dasavatara (cave 15) cave temples , today's post is on Buddhist caves in Ellora. This double storied Vishwakarma (Cave 10), Buddhist cave in Ellora dates back to the 7th century AD. The construction on the roof, the stone ribs, almost look like they are wooden ... so artistic. This is the only Buddhist cave in Ellora to have a prayer hall with a Stupa. This cave has beautiful carvings, and is one of the most visited Buddhist caves in Ellora.
