The Buddhist Caves, Ellora | History, Timing and Best time to visit
Viharas, or monasteries, make up the majority of the 12 Buddhist Caves. Numerous monasteries have shrines in these caverns that are decorated with sculptures and paintings of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and saints.
The most well-known Buddhist cave is Chaitya Hall Cave 10, also referred to as the Carpenter’s Cave. The stupa hall in this cave, known as Chaityas, resembles a church. A fifteen-foot-tall statue of Buddha stands in the middle of the cave. Two shrines and a single cell are located in Chaitya’s verandah (gallery), which is supported by pillars.
