Located in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India is one of the world’s largest rock-cut monastery-temple cave complexes: the Ellora Caves.
Although the caves were used as monasteries, temples, and rest stops for pilgrims, the Ellora caves were also an important commercial center in the Decan region, thanks to their location on the South Asian trade route.
The exact age of the cave temples is debated. However, archeologists and scholars have studied the ancient site since the British Colonial Rule.
