Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India is considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.

I really didn’t know that we have so many wonders of the world. Today morning I was watching Egypt museum video and really appreciate their government for take good care of old historical architecture and sculptures intact. I was really shocked to see so many wonderful places in this video by Karl Rock. Please wake up Indians. Promote your tourism and culture and protect our old civilization and history.

The fact that the Kailasha temple was built in less than 20 years outside in only by carving is mind boggling. This is close to impossible even with modern machinery. Also, there are a lot of tunnels underneath the structure that have been blocked off adding to the mystery. Plus there was no evidence of the broken rocks being transported anywhere nearby. Thanks for visiting this Karl.

I went to Aurangabad in 2019 as an extension of a trip with my friends. For many years I wanted to see Ajanta and Ellora. And it was AMAZING!!! These places can't be visited in a rush. We spent many hours in Ajanta Caves, absorbing every detail. The way they were built was an extraordinary work. All the frescos paintings (what is left) are stunning and the sculptures as well. Loved the Maha Nirvana Buddha.
But...Ellora is mind blowing! When I was there I felt something indescribable. Honestly, I was in awe. The Kailasa Temple is stunning. The huge Shiv Lingam is very powerful. And the Jain caves are a whole other world. They are very mystical, enigmatic. Ellora has so many beautiful carvings and sculptures. One that is outstanding is the one of Ravan in Mount Kailash. Also, there are many carvings telling stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharat.
Visit Aurangabad with plenty time to watch every detail. Avoid visiting during the months of April and May, because it is extremely hot. We were there in the beginning of April and it was like a desert: Way too hot and dry. Also, we had the chance to visit the Grishneshwar Jyotirlingam. That temple is beautiful, peaceful and very well preserved and taken care of. People were very nice with us at the temple. Aurangabad is 10/10.

Namaste! Thank you for this! A wonderful video for a Sunday morning! Now..going to go through my late Son’s photos. I’m pretty sure he went to the little Taj about 10-12yrs ago when they were in Maharashtra. If I remember correctly, it was one of the places he was very sad that it wasn’t being upkept-the gardens were overgrown back then.
WOW! The Temple and caves!! A good friend recently visited some ancient temples/caves in Khujaraho…reminds us why India is the Jewel of Asia!
I just wish I could return…have to experience these places virtually through your and my friend’s videos..Dhanyavad!

Hey karl, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for creating such a breathtaking video at my favorite ancient sites. Your content always manages to capture the essence and beauty so perfectly. I'm truly grateful for the effort you put into sharing these incredible experiences with us. By the way, if you ever explore more ancient places in the future, I'd suggest considering hiring a guide. They can provide fascinating insights that would make your videos even more enriching. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏

The most stunning thing about Devgiri fort were its defences
9:27 The original bridge was wide enough to only allow 2 people to pass at a time. And the water level of moat could be controlled using dams- to flood the bridge.
10:46 : The dark labyrinthine alleyways like these were used to confuse and psychologically rattle the enemy. Defending soldiers would hide in the recesses in the walls above and pour boiling hot oil on the invaders below. Labyrinthine pathway would lead to groups of invading soldiers running into each other in the dark, mistaking the other as the enemy and killing their own men. Some dark staircases would abruptly halt leading the invaders to slip into holes which would open outside -150ft fall into crocodile infested moat below. Also These pathways could be filled with smoke when necessary, suffocating invading soldiers.

Do not miss 14:14 it should be a wonder of the world! New Name Update: Aurangabad has been renamed to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. We visited before the renaming. Next, watch us explore India's mysterious meteorite crater https://youtu.be/5rrnsnbcC0k.
