    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.

    • Carved From One Block Of Stone | Who Built Kailasa Temple, India? | Megalithomania:

    The Kailasa Temple, the largest of the 34 Ellora Caves in Maharashtra, India, has stunning vertical rock-cut architecture carved from a single rock. The top-down construction technique is particularly hard to fathom as the planning and execution seem almost impossible. It has rock-cut obelisks, chambers, Shiva Lingams, Buddhist and Jain shrines and no one know where the estimated 400,000 tons of basalt disappeared to. In tradition a special rock-disintegrating machine called a Brahmastra has been put forward as to how it was done, a powerful celestial weapon, often described as the "Astra of Brahma", capable of causing complete annihilation of rock. Kailasa Temple could have been the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' and is still shrouded in mystery as the dating is generally attributed to the eighth century Rashtrakuta King Krishna I (756 – 773 AD) with some elements completed later, but this is not confirmed and could be part of a much earlier legacy.
    No need to follow anyone, only consider broadening (y)our horizon of possibilities ...
