- Kailash Temple(Kailashnath Temple), also Kailasanatha Temple is one of the 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more than 2 km, that were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliff in the complex located at Ellora, Maharashtra, India, and represents the epitome of Indian rock-cut architecture. It is designed to recall Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva. While it exhibits typical Dravidian features, it was carved out of one single rock. It was built in the 8th century by the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. The Kailash Temple is notable for its vertical excavation -- carvers started at the top of the original rock, and excavated downward, exhuming the temple out of the existing rock. The traditional methods were rigidly followed by the master architect which could not have been achieved by excavating from the front. The architects found to design this temple were from the southern Pallava kingdom. It is estimated that about 200,000 tons of rocks was scooped out over hundreds of years to construct this monolithic structure. From the chisel marks on walls of this temple, archeologists could conclude that three types of chisels were used to carve this temple. All the carvings are done in more than one level. A two-storeyed gateway opens to reveal a U-shaped courtyard. The courtyard is edged by a columned arcade three stories high. The arcades are punctuated by huge sculpted panels, and alcoves containing enormous sculptures of a variety of deities. Originally flying bridges of stone connected these galleries to central temple structures, but these have fallen. Within the courtyard are two structures. As is traditional in Shiva temples, an image of the sacred bull Nandi fronts the central temple housing the lingam. In Cave 16, the Nandi Mandap and main Shiva temple are each about 7 meters high, and built on two stories. The lower stories of the Nandi Mandap are both solid structures, decorated with elaborate illustrative carvings. The base of the temple has been carved to suggest that elephants are holding the structure aloft. A living rock bridge connects the Nandi Mandap to the porch of the temple. The temple itself is tall pyramidic structure reminiscent of a South Indian temple. The shrine – complete with pillars, windows, inner and outer rooms, gathering halls, and an enormous lingam at its heart – carved from stone, is carved with niches, plasters, windows as well as images of deities, mithunas (erotic male and female figures) and other figures. Most of the deities at the left of the entrance are Shaivaite (followers of Lord Shiva) while on the right hand side the deities are Vaishnavaites (followers of Lord Vishnu). There are two Dhvajastambhas (pillars with the flagstaff) in the courtyard. The grand sculpture of Ravana attempting to lift Mount Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva, with his full might is a landmark in Indian art.
- O Templo Kailasa em Mumbai, na Índia é uma das maiores estruturas do mundo. Esculpido de uma seção sólida e única de uma encosta, cerca de 2,4 milhões de toneladas cúbicas de pedras foram removidas durante a sua construção, no século VIII. Os construtores esculpiram o templo usando cinzel de uma polegada; e o templo levou duzentos anos para ficar pronto. O templo é dedicado à Shiva, o deus fatal da trilogia Hindu. O complexo inclui um santuário de animais, uma varanda, o salão principal e um lugar sagrado, todos com painéis talhados e esculturas. Acredita-se que o templo tenha sido construído pelos deuses que vieram dos céus em máquinas voadoras. Pode ser que a planta do templo sustente esta teoria, porque foi feita com desenhos religiosos que representam o cosmos. Erich Von Daniken achava que astronautas antigos criaram muitas das estruturas grandiosas da Terra e cita o Templo de Kailasa como um exemplo. O templo atrai caçadores de mistérios antigos que buscam pistas da sua construção e vinculam estas pistas a outras civilizações antigas.
- Kailasatemplet eller Kailasanatha, (sanskrit de saligas boning), indiskt tempel från 800-talet. Templet är ett av de mest berömda av templen i Elloragrottorna, och är uthugget ur berget. I ett område på 45 gånger 80 meter har man huggit ut ett rikt ornamenterat tempel med försalar, kapell och korridorer. En kvadratisk försal leder in till huvudtemplet, som har sju sidokapell. Själva tempelrummet är 31 meter långt och 17 meter brett. Taket bärs upp av sexton stycken fem meter höga stenpelare, som är ordnade i fyra rader. Dessa pelare förbinds med ur väggen framträdande pilastrar av stenbjälkar, så att rummet delas in i fem skepp. Mittskeppet är högre än sidoskeppen och för in till ett mindre rum, en helgedom, som bevakas av två jättefigurer och innehåller en stor gudabild uthuggen direkt ur klippan. Templets väggar är täckta av bilder som föreställer den indiska mytologins gudar, och stridsscener ur Ramayana och Mahabharata.
