Ellora - fmous for its monumental caves, Ellora is a World Heritage Site. Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock cut architecture. The 34 "caves" ? actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills ? comprised of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain cave temples and monasteries, were built between the 5th century and 10th century.

The Kailasa or Kailasanatha Temple, is the unrivalled centerpiece of Ellora. This gargantuan structure ? designed to recall Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva ? looks like a freestanding, multi-storeyed temple complex, but it was carved out of one single rock, and covers an area double the size of Parthenon in Athens.

These are all breathtaking, beautiful...indescribable. Words can't truly express.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting, looks like you gave some time into it. India would be such a great place without the odd shantytown here and there, kekek.

@Tabo at last you made a thread which really means something. Too beautiful can't find words to describe these pictures. Jai Hind.

Just amazing, India....

omg, the urge to go to India is rising. its as if India contains every possible kind of climate/geographical feature you can think of.

Thinking about going to goa with my cousins when I visit india next time.

good stuff

Those were all amazing, thank you for posting them.
I especially like a lot of the ones from Tamil Nadu and the Night scene ones

first time I've seen you post here, welcome to India Chat man

All the pictures are breathtaking.



Ratha Yatra Festival in Puri, India. Painting by James Fergusson

i'm guessing the painting in vaman's post is old...In which case, it just highlights what a Timeless country india is.
All these photographs are gorgeous.
Jai hind!

Yes you guessed right it is very old. The painting I posted was made by James Fergusson somewhere between 1829-1850. The Rath-Yatra in Puri is still celebrated exactly the same way. India surely is a timeless country.

An Indian Air Force plane takes off in the mountainous Kashmir region from the town of Leh. All flights must pass through a narrow ravine shortly after take-off, or before landing, making for a spectacular departure/arrival. On side of this ravine is the Indian Air Force motto chalked out for all to witness.

I love many things about Hindustan...great pictures and thanks for sharing!
