    It is an amazing work of art for sure.

    Not quite as hard to imagine how if you realise it:
    Each building block was first carved as a block with no detail.
    Then caved into to produce the details and rooms.

    If you think each carved block/building was carved down in detail from the top down, well that would be madness to do.
    I'm a simple easy going guy that is very upset/sad with the worlds hidden controllers!
    We need LEADERS who bat from the HEART!
    Rise up above them Dark evil doers, not within anger but with LOVE

    And if it’s too far you can visit the lovely town of Elora Ontario where i live which was named after the founder had visited Ellora
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elora,_Ontario


    Elora was founded in 1832 by Captain William Gilkison, originally from Scotland, who was a British officer recently returned from India. He had also served in the War of 1812. He bought 14,000 acres of land on the Grand River and settled on the east side of the river. The plan for the settlement was laid out by Lewis Burwell, in late 1832, when it was called Irvine Settlement. By 1833, Gilkison had opened a sawmill and a general store.[5] Gilkison named the community after his brother's ship, which was itself inspired by the Ellora Caves near Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India.
