seven wonders in Ajanta
Ajanta & Ellora:
The rock cut caves in Ajanta & Ellora, located in Maharashtra in central India, are wonders of the ancient world. Built between the 2nd century BC and 9th century AD, these caves served the religious purposes of Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism. They are among the best examples of rock cut architecture anywhere in the world. The Kailasanath temple in the Ellora group of caves is the best known among these cave temples. It is carved downwards out of a single rock. The caves, like all the other seven wonders of India featiured here, have been declared world heritage sites by the UNESCO.
