Kailasa Temple

Secrets Behind Its Construction
The Kailasa Temple, located in the Ellora Caves of Maharashtra, India, is a marvel of ancient engineering. Carved entirely from a single rock, this temple is both breathtaking and mysterious.

Workers removed an estimated 400,000 tonnes of rock to create this architectural wonder. Daily, they removed around 60 tonnes of rock, working tirelessly for 12 hours each day.
