How can anyone actually believe the Rashtrakuta empire constructed Kailasa temple at Ellora in 19 years! In order to remove 300,000 tonnes of basalt, it would require 10 cubic meters of basalt being excavated daily by a robust 200 person labour force to excavate the basalt. That's moving roughly 30 tonnes of solid basalt rock every single day would still take 33 years minimum. And thats not even including the managing staff of cooks, foreman’s, tools sharpeners, round the clock engineers. All the carts and animals for logistics for removal of basalt; all of this before the sculpting can even begin. So 19 years to achieve this with nothing but iron and copper tools and no real proof of construction other than scrawling None of it makes any sense the more you begin to dive into the mystery of Ellora.

Appreciation to dedication for the unique features that 99.99% of people ignore at the Kailasa Temple in Ellora, India. The Archaeological Survey Of India are of the belief that Kailasa was carved out from top to bottom with no scaffolding systems, there’s enough evidence to break that narrative.

My favourite Indian sweet after consuming ungodly volumes of sugar in Gujarat is now officially Black Carrot Halwa. I’ve never had something so delicious until I was introduced to this famous restaurant in Prayagraj called Netram. Big thanks to Barbie🩰 for the exceptional hospitality.

Cave Number 15 at the Ellora Cave Complex does not get enough attention on social media! This room represents the Dashavatara, the 10 principle avatars of Vishnu, the room is supported by 64 carves basalt columns, it truly holds wonder and mystery the longer you stay and observe.

Before entering the Chaitya hall itself, I decided to do a little investigative work, and much like the Kanheri caves in Mumbai, the Bedse caves near Lonavala also shows irrefutable evidence of artificial rock walls, they look so real to the untrained eye, but on close inspection..

Doing my second pilgrimage to Ellora has made me question how anybody, including Buddhist monks could possibly carve out such magnificent monuments from one of the densest rocks on the planet, all using iron tools? And why can’t we replicate such majesty in today’s modern world?

I see geopolymers everywhere, this limestone pillar inside the Uparkot caves rings like bell - it’s made not just with limestone, but I suspect it also contains iron support bars within its body, much like the load bearing pillars at the Khapara Kodiya Caves not 10 minutes away from here. This incredible site rests within the heart of the Uparkot Fort in Junagadh, Gujarat and is dated to approximately 2nd century BC.
